Hobbyist vs Superb Bulb Grower

Hi,

I can't let the statement below pass.

Not true. I used to think of myself as a bulb addict, someone in need of
help, but after meeting Gordon Summerfield and Alan Horstmann in South
Africa who described themselves as passionate about bulbs I decided that
sounds oh so much nicer. I kill bulbs regularly, have seeds that never come
up, and bulbs I can't identify. I am still trying to figure out bulbs that
I don't think are rightly named. I get farther in the keys these days, but
often get to a point that stops me in my tracks.

Because of all the helpful information I have been able to pick up first
from the IBS list when I was still a part of it and then the ABA lists and
finally the pbs list my knowledge has expanded enormously. Meeting people
and seeing how they grow bulbs has been a huge help as well. I still have
much to learn and do not consider myself an expert, just enthusiastic.
