Dear all,
After a nice summer and fall blooming season, I have added a few more new
photos and species to the wiki. Most of these photos were taken at the UC
Botanical Garden in Berkeley. I have added a page for it on the wiki:
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*New species additions:*
*Acis leucophylla*
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*Amorphophallus titanum* - the Titan Arum is rather popular these days and
the UCBG displayed 4 specimens at one point. The public loved it.
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*Dicentra canadensis*
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*Dicentra scandens*
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*Lewisia redivina* - This California native is rather variable in color. It
has very succulent roots and goes completely dormant in the summer.
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*Oxalis articulata*
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*Paris polyphylla* - this is a very interesting species from China. It is
rather large and likes shade.

Ypsilandra thibetica*
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…

*Allium paniculatum*
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*Amaryllis belladonna* - these can be seen on dry hillsides in the SF Bay
Area and other parts of central California. I took a photo of a lovely patch
of them during peak blooming season.
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*Boophone disticha* - two new *in situ* photos taken by Cameron McMaster.
The leaves are just to die for!

*Brunsvigia josephinae* - these were in their full glory and included photos
of a pollinating hummingbird as well!
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*Corallorhiza maculata* - I posted photos of an unspotted form.
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*Haemanthus coccineus* - I added a photo from the UCBG where the specimens
were coming out of the rocks. It was a beautiful setting for them.
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*Haemanthus humilis spp. hirsutus* - once again these were coming out of the
rocks.
http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…
*Lilium humboldtii*

That's all for now. Hope everyone enjoy the additions. I added some
formatting to the text for better visualization. Please let me know if it
does not turn out well.
