Dear Marilyn, Thanks for introducing yourself to our group and welcome. You did just fine. You will find a lot of information about South African bulbs if you look through our wiki. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/PhotographsAndInform… is where you will find the list of genera that we have pictures and information about. We just had a lot of good information shared with the group on Lachenalia and I added the links on the wiki page. For a couple of years we had topics of the week where certain subjects were discussed and I listed them and added links to the wiki for them as well. You can find them here: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Look for Mark Mazer's introduction for April 2003 and any others that catch your fancy. It's probably a good idea also to remind everyone about how to search our archives. I have this listed on the Pacific Bulb Society web page. The list archives can be viewed by using Google and entering in the search box the following: +[pbs] [search terms] site:///lists.ibiblio.org If you wanted to see what people had said about Nerine before on our list you would write this in the search box: +[pbs] [Nerine] site:///lists.ibiblio.org And if you have specific questions, please ask. I'm sending this to everyone and not privately as we continue to get new members who do not introduce themselves and might find this information helpful. Mary Sue
