New Member Intro
Sam Hay (Fri, 07 Nov 2003 19:17:10 PST)

Hello,

I am a new member to the list. I was encouraged to join by my next
door neighbor Tom Wells.

While I have always been interested in gardening and "specimen" type
plants my interest has intensified in the last couple of years.

About 7 years ago Joann, my wife, said "I would like to have a koi
pond". I built a 3000 gallon koi pond that is a great comfort in our
small garden. Three miniature longhaired Dachshunds rule our garden
and home.

My professional life was spent at California State Polytechnic
University, Pomona. I began there as a photographer and finished as a
multimedia producer.

For many years I pursued an intense interest in personal or "fine art"
photography.

Tom Wells, a member of the list, has been responsible for supplying me
with almost all of the several hundred Clivia seeds and seedlings we
have in cultivation. I also have many bulbs he has let/ask me
cultivate.

I am looking forward to learning more about this very interesting area
of horticulture. Thank you in advance for your help and information.
