>And appreciate any comments and thoughts. Jim W. PBS is one of my favorite gardening organizations, but I don't grow much within their realm. It's hard for me to find things "worthy" of donating to the BX, although sometimes I come up with the goods such as Irises or Manfreda. At the moment I'm growing more irids such as North American Nemastylis species, so I should be able to contribute again. I suppose you could say I also contribute by trying to grow "warm climate" bulbs from the BX, such as Zephyranthes. But they never thrive here, so I haven't made any breakthrough discoveries, yet.
