Thank you, Jim, We can grow different bulbs and plants than what I was used to in my native state of Michigan ... however, there are many bulbs I grew in Michigan which do not do well at all here ... and I miss seeing them. I did plant a number of supposedly mild winter tolerant Narcissus ... however, only the one in the link below has successfully come back each year. Unfortunately, I've lost the tag which IDd the cultivar. Anybody know or guess from the picture: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amarguy/4368466378/ Ken San Diego --- On Tue, 2/16/10, Jim McKenney <jimmckenney@jimmckenney.com> wrote: From: Jim McKenney <jimmckenney@jimmckenney.com> Subject: Re: [pbs] some of my own interesting bulb foliage To: "'Pacific Bulb Society'" <pbs@lists.ibiblio.org> Date: Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 10:04 AM Ken, these images you are posting are really something. I can only dream of having plants like that! Great work - keep it up! Jim McKenney
