>I've posted images of an undescribed Opuntia species from >north-central New Mexico. Dear Joe; Haven't heard from you for a while and interesting notes on 'bulbous' cactus and crinum. Welcome Ken We cover all manner of bulbous types here so you should have some fun reading along the 'road' Thanks to Mary Sue and Jay - Most list member may not note a slight change in their messages. All message used to end with the line: http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php this takes you to the PBS home page in a click but a lot of people mention a wiki page or image without giving a link. Now the final line of all message is : http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/ which brings you right to the wiki home page. Then just type in the image search and you get right to the destination. Hope it will. help you - it sure does me- to have faster access to the wiki galleries. And meanwhile, my confusing "scillas' are just finishing. I think I bought these as Scilla nonscripta, the classic English Bluebells. In pink ('Dainty Maid") white ('Alba"?) and blue ('Excelsior'). They were briefly Scilla campanulatus and now are Hyacinthoides nonscripta - I think. Still confused over these and 'Roman Hyacinths, Wood Hyacinths and are H. nonscripta and h. campanulatus synonyms of the same plant? Anyway they were all lovely and have been quite vigorous. In between spring and summer bulb seasons here, especially after the disastrous spring late freezes cut bloom seasons short. Hope the current round of storms doesn't last too long and we can dry out with out a tornado coming through, too. Best Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
