Lee this is a great idea. As another very envious pbs-er, I would also love
to hear all about the Symposium and Conference.

As much as I will miss seeing the bulbs wake up in my garden I am
really
looking forward to seeing many of you on this list who live far away
at the
bulb symposium in South Africa. And they have had a lot of winter
rainfall
so those of us traveling there will no doubt have some amazing
botanizing.

Given all the people on this and other lists from various countries who
are going to South Africa soon for the IBSA symposium and/or the Clivia
Conference, as well as the great rainfall they've had this winter, I am
**so** envious. You all are going to have such a great time there, I
just know it. Having been there only once (as well as to quite a number
of other countries), I know South Africa is a fantastic place to visit
anyway. So this makes the envy all the worse.
Therefore, I want to hear all about everyone's trips there, what they
see, who they met with and had fun with, plant shows, wildflower tours,
everything no matter how off-topic. I know Jim Shields is going to try
to write about his travels there:
I'll also make an attempt to keep an on-line diary of some of our
activities in a "blog" style (more or less). Just go to our home page
at: http://www.shieldsgardens.com/ and select the link to "South
Africa 2006 Blog" on the first page.
So please share the great times with all the rest of us who are stuck
in our home countries this time around. This year sounds like a
can't-miss opportunity that I, unfortunately, will have to miss.
