We have hosted small get-togethers here in the past, usually the Midwest Clivia group. If anyone in the Midwest is interested in organizing a meeting, let me know. Other places folks could get together would be Missouri Botanic Garden in St. Louis or Chicago Botanic Gdn. The problem usually is that we are so few and so widely scattered that we can't get enough people in one place at any given time to make anything of it. What season to meet is another question: Right now, the Narcissus are in bloom as well as Scilla and Chionodoxa. Trillium are coming, but not yet in bloom yet. Iris are at least a month away. Any suggestions of where and when for a Midwestern bulb gathering of Pacific Bulb Society members?
