The Fall 2011 issue of /The Bulb Garden/ is on its way to you. In this issue Freda Cox describes the obsession sweeping Europe---Galanthomania (snowdrop madness). Alberto Castillo brings us Part Two of "Starting a Bulb Collection," with advice on choosing pots, record keeping and labeling, and cultivation methods. "Zephryanthes in the Land of the Long White Cloud" (New Zealand) is a follow-up account by Ina Crossley of an experiment that began with seed in 2008. Nhu Nguyen tells us about the September get-together of PBS members from Northern California, and Marguerite English treats us to a glimpse of plant and animal life on the edge of California's chaparral. I'm still looking for a couple more articles for the Spring issue, deadline February. If you have an idea you'd like to pursue, contact me at jane@sonic.net.
