Why don't I tell y'all about all of my plants of interest, even if some don't fall into the category of bulbs. I live in a SE US 7b/8a and I have what someone coined as "zonal denial". My theme is tropical so here it goes. Crinum oliganthum Crinum asiaticum Crinum erubescens-started with just a little bit 3 years ago, now I'm covered in it. I love it though. Crinum 'unknown pink cultivar I "borrowed" from a public planting' Crinum 'unknown white cultivar I "borrowed" from a public planting' And killed a Crinum americanum I'm looking to acquire many more this year including X Amarcrinum. I have a relatively new home and haven't had much time to collect. I also have... Lycoris "forget the species...garden variety red" Hippaestrum hybrids -various Crocus speciosus Tulipa 'cynthia' Several Colocasia Lots of gingers... Dyckia platyphylla X something seedlings (supposed to be pretty hardy, and I have it in a great microclimate) Ficus afghanistanica Musa basjoo M. sikkimensis 'red tiger' M. itinerans M. 'Raja Puri' M. 'Saba'- 16' of trunk and full of fruit and flowers, what a beauty M. velutina Jubaea chiliensis (unplanted) Washingtonia filifera Sabal bermudana Sabal minor Sabal minor Louisiana Sabal palmetto Rhapidophyllum hystrix Chamaedorea radicalis Trachycarpus fortunei Quercus myrsinifolia Bambusa 'Alphonse Karr' Phyllostachys heterocycla pubescens P. vivax P. nigra 'henon' Amorphophallus konjac (I think, good size with lots of offsets, but no flowers yet. Maybe next year.) ...and lots of other stuff and seeds coming along. Hope that wasn't too painful. BTW excuse the spelling I'm not really looking behind and spell check will barf on the botanical names.

Actually I'm a crinumaholic. I just signed up for the list yesterday and I'm psyched to read about bulbs from folks as enthused as I am. BTW Other plants of interest...Palms, Gingers, aroids and anything that flowers when other people's landscapes look dreadful ( I live in Georgia, USA so by late July most people's gardens look tired). Glad to be joining Y'all, Steve _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php
