Dear PBSers:

Sorry I've been away so long. I'm slowly starting to get back in the
groove again, hoping to contribute thoughts and ideas. I just wanted to
let you all know that my flower bulb image gallery has an inventory of
almost 1100 images. You may go to, http://www.bulbmeister.com/gallery/,
to view. If you just wish to view the latest additions (250+), click the
"last 14 days" link when you get there. That link will only be useful
through the 12th, I believe. You may also choose the "all images" link,
then sort by "latest", if you look later than the 12th.

To comment, we just finished a trip to visit family down Houston way. On
the trip to, I drove by a roadside "clump" (more of a spread, really) of
white rain lilies. I could not identify them at 70 miles an hour, but
the urge to stop was tremendous!

My rain lily pots underwent a full year of neglect with minimal
watering. Grass seed found them easily, though, and, now they are full
of grass. I treated with Poast over a week ago, and it has stopped the
grass growth. It should die off slowly without significant damage to my
potted bulbs. Most of my potted stock needs re-potting, if, for no other
reason, than to clean out the weeds.

Ah, to be human is to be weedy. --kmi

As a follow up to germination times for Arthropodium strictum (choc lily),
here in NE Victoria with wet winters & very dry summers (but not wet this
winter unfortunately!) - seed that I sowed in the autumn in pots in an
unheated poly tunnel, is just beginning to germinate right now. In the bush
round here they will start to emerge late winter and flower late
spring/early summer. If anyone would like seed I could collect some this
season. I think their fragrance is a choc/caramel/vanilla mix.

Hi Terry,

Would love some seeds. Haven't tried growing Arthropodiums yet. Was
eyeing
some off teh other day in Waldecks/Bunnings. About $15-$20 for a pot
though.

If you could save me some we could do a swap for seeds you might like. I
will post at the end of Spring to let you/and everyone else know what I
have.

Appreciatively
