What Got You Here?

Hi Josh, and welcome

I too like many, started collecting plants when I was young. My parents used
to drag ( or I dragged them) to our local horticultural society, when I was
about 10 years old. Even though they were gardeners, I think I took it to a
new level.

Bulbs came along later, like in high school, but I do remember looking at
books on South African bulbs at the Horticultural society library, and
thinking that someday I will grow them once I got a greenhouse.

Today, I do grow many and most bulbs, and strange enough, I'm also creative
director at Hasbro, and worked on Furby. Strange world, indeed.

Hi All :)

I just wanted to talk a bit about what got us all where we are now with
plants, especially geophytes!  What sparked your interest?  When did you know
you were hooked?

Well I'm 22, I've loved growing for as long as I can remember!  I used to
spend my weekly allowence on the small selection of houseplants at different
supercenters!  Once I had my mother drive me around to every nursery in the 25
mile radius looking for different carnivours plants I could grow on top of my
dresser next to my "Furbee". 

Still as ineterested as ever!
