Many thanks to Lauw and several others of you who have emailed me privately to welcome me to the PBS, you really are a friendly bunch. Lauw is lucky in being close enough to visit Wisley relatively often. For any of you who are able to visit Wisley, I would be happy to give you a tour including 'behind the scenes'. In my department, the potted bulb collections are grown in areas not normally open to the public and then put out on display in the Alpine Display House as and when they come into bloom. But we are always happy to show the whole behind the scenes collection to those who have a special interest. Obviously, please contact me in advance to arrange a date to ensure I am available. Thank you all again for your warm welcome. I don't consider myself a great expert when it comes to bulbs so I will be asking as many questions as those I may attempt to answer!
