Thanks, Lee. There are a few bulbs that might be of interest to PBS members: Eucrosia bicolor (a small grouping in full bloom right now), Proiphys amboinensis, Crinum kunthianum, a few others, including tuberous aroids. Most bulbs have been eliminated from consideration since the main criterion for inclusion is "too tender to grow outdoors- in So. California." Many of the plants on display are rarely, and sometimes never, seen in a public setting. Also in bloom now, and probably for the March tour: the jade vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys), with hanging trusses of flowers colored like Lachenalia viridiflora. I hope to see some of you there for one of the tours!
