What Got You Here?

For me it was the PBS wiki and BX. I was always an iris fanatic... and as
time went by I became interested in native irids, like Alophia. And Google
searches kept bringing me to the PBS wiki, and so when I found out about the
BX I joined up right away. I certainly wasn't a founding member of PBS, but
I joined pretty early, I think. Seems like I've seen hundreds of BXes
anyway!
I wasn't particularly interested in bulbs until joining PBS. And the
high-falutin' talk on here got me eager to try many new things, like growing
different Polianthes species to cross with my Manfreda virginica), or
growing "new" irids from Australia and New Zealand.
PBS is definitely responsible for getting me hooked!

carnivorous plants)

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!
