Hello Darren, > I recently moved to La Paz, BCS, Mexico and will set up a tissue > culture unit and exotic plant nursery here. > > I want to include bulbs in my work. > > Here are the climatic figures for the region: > > http://uk.weather.com/weather/climatology/… > > What bulbs do you think will do well here. I see lilies growing in a > neighbours garden and naturalised Hippeastrum. I haven't lived there but I did visit. I live in the same desert, though, the Sonoran desert, just a few hundred miles north in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Some issues you will face are: High to very high summer temperatures day and night; Relatively high winter temperatures day and night; Minimal to no winter chilling; Intense sun all year; Very irregular rain: any time of year, sometimes months of drought, with potential for torrential storms including hurricanes; Unpredictable electricity - have power backup for computer, critical refrigerators, freezers, lights, and incubators; Mexican legal issues related to export of native plants and succulents. Be sure you understand these before attempting to export. Winter-growers might be problematic. I get much cooler winters in Phoenix than you will in La Paz so winter-growers do very well here. Anything that needs a definite change of seasons might get confused. I would expect Hippeastrum hybrids, Agapanthus, Crinum (especially the desert species), Zephyranthes/Habranthus, and a host of S American bulbs to do well. Leo -- Leo A.
