Hi PBS Folks, I have this nice tuber of Sinningia tubiflora but can't find the e-mail from the nice lady who sent it - who also sent me some Tigridia pavonia seedlings. My state of organization has been a mess the past couple of weeks for a couple of reasons. Sorry for my tardiness in getting back. I need to send this tuber to you!

The main pages are: How to grow bulbs: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…<http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…> , and a sub-topic on How to grow bulbs from seed: http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…<http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/…> The seeds one has some wonderful (and very detailed) genus-specific germination info compiled by Mary Sue. I was stunned when I saw it. These sections are a start, but they need additional work. Here's what you can do: --Fix errors. The general advice in both sections is biased because the author (me) lives in California and writes from his own experience. You should dig in there and correct mistakes, add more info, etc. --Add your experiences. "How to grow bulbs" has a section at the bottom where you can add notes on what works in your garden. Right now it is a lonely spot because I am the only contributor; you should come by and add your own part here. --Add more links. Mary Sue identified several links to good discussions in the PBS Forum, and I added a couple. But we need more. You can search the archive here: http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php<http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php> Remember that great note you wrote to the PBS list about ideal soil mixes for aquatic bulbs in Arctic climates? This is your chance to make sure it lives on throughout history. Links to other great resources on the web would also be useful.
