Greetings All,

I can donate 50 MB to this cause also, let me know if it is needed.

I grow some of Marcelle's Crinum here in the garden and I am anticipating
flowers in the next couple of years.

Best wishes,

Dash.

Joe,
If you can keep the size of the site down to 50 MB or so, I mightbe able

to

provide space for such a project. I am following in similar footstps as

I, for one, would hope that we can accommodate Marcelle's photo

collection.

She is very well known to Crinum enthusiasts! I believe that she still

has a

retail sales website?

Hi Dell (and all who wrote privately),

Marcelle does maintain her own commercial Web site where she provides a
picture gallery of plants for sale, and many more plants not for sale.

Thanks for your various notes. I will collect all the ideas that I have
received and discuss them with Marcelle. For now, I think there is

little

chance

that Marcelle's historical photos and records can be accommodated on the

Wiki.

The amount of material she has is truly enormous and includes photos of

many

unpublished hybrids (perhaps over 100) from other breeders, as well as

her

own

materials, along with notes on fertility, when created, who created,

etc.

Some information is unique. For instance, without going into

particulars,

Marcelle has developed never-before-reported colors in Crinum.

One PBS member suggested that ibiblio.org or another organization might

be

willing to host an encyclopedia-style Web site, wherein the information

could be

deposited and freely accessed. This seems like an approach that might

work

if Marcelle and I can get the photos digitized and the text written.

Cordially,

Conroe Joe (still hot and muggy, rain showers off and on)
