Mark: What a fantastic mutation! I don't think you should be hindered by the name of the society. I believe its creators had no intention of limiting the scope to the Pacific Coast. They can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the name was entirely reflective of the base of operations, which, even that, would be and untrue descriptor. They may not have realized when first designating the name just how widespread interest would be in this listserv, but I believe their hope had always been to include information and discussion about flower bulbs in every part of the country and the world. You could say that the Pacific Bulb Society has already become a fantastic mutation from its original propagation... Mr. Kelly M.
