Dear All, Reading about all the devastation from Hurricane Katrina makes me feel a bit guilty about life going on in areas not hit by this disaster. Still I guess distracting news is not a bad thing. As I am repotting I am trying to take pictures of my bulbs, corms, tubers. One day I'll get them on the wiki. I don't have the time to do this in a way so the results are better. Rodger's recent post on improving digital pictures had some excellent suggestions, but that takes time to set up and I still have a lot of pots I need to pot and things are already growing. Hopefully people will still be able to get some idea. On the AB images list Lyn Edwards recently posted a picture of Scoliopus bigelovii she is growing in Australia and Alberto promptly wrote it is not a geophyte. In the past on this list I noted that the roots of my plants didn't look at all like described (short underground stems with numerous fleshy storage roots). Mine were like string. I unpotted one to take a picture. This year I've watered them all summer so they are "plump". :-) Note the grid the roots are on has 1 cm. squares. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… In the past John Bryan asked about the tuber of Canarina canariensis. Bill Dijk sent me seed a number of years ago and I shared it with Diana Chapman who has been much more successful growing it on. On learning I really needed to protect this one from our winter weather while it is growing, I moved mine to the greenhouse where they have been much happier, but still didn't bloom last year. I'm hoping this year they will. I've kept two tubers from the seed I started and the plants looked a bit crowded so I dumped them out of their large pot recently. The tubers were huge. Hopefully this year I'll see those flowers. Here is a picture of one already with new shoots. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Mary Sue
