Hi Folks, At last, after a long, very busy, and sometimes frustrating mail-order season and the just finished planting of all the multitude of bulbs again, we finally catching up with most of the never ending, necessary work, and perhaps have some more spare time to spend with other more interesting activities with our friends and like-minded people. What ever happened to all the well intended semi-retirement plans of leisure,cruises, world tours, holidays etc. Never mind, one day we'll get there, in the meantime no rest for the wicked. Anyway, I thought I start off by showing you what is in flower at the moment or at least just finished lately, and join in with the gang whenever possible. I have just finished downloading a collection of images to share with you and to update and add to the work of others. I will write/add some text to the url's shortly when I get more time. In the meantime enjoy the pictures. Best wishes. Bill D. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/files/… Tauranga, New Zealand :annual rainfall :1250 mm.
