Hi Jude, welcome to PBS, I am also recent new member. This is the place you get lots of information and possible bulb trade. I collect rare plants like you did, and hopefully we can all share our experience.

My name is Jude. I'm completely new "here" and would like to introduce myself. Some of you (may?) already know me, but I really have no idea who's on here yet! My name is Jude Platteborze. I grow a vast variety of tropical plants, unusual, rare, odd, interesting, and some common. My main foci is aroids, succulent bulbs (Haemanthus, Scadoxus, Scilla, Clivia, etc.), and love things that get big! I also have a soft spot for caudiciforms as well. I live in Northeastern Massachusetts, and travel down to Florida from time to time to find new plants. My latest bulb interests are Crinums, african bulbs, and evergreen bulbs. But I really like them all. Have a great day, and if anyone is offering seeds of any sort (Or bulbs, for that mattter), I'd love to hear about it and get my feet wet. Thanks! Jude
