Dear Ina, Conference - shmonference It's just about spring there. Why not just try to arrange coffee and cookies in some one's garden. If 6 or 8 people can show up, bring some bulbs, bring some friends (potential members?) and just talk and share about your bulb favorites. > >It doesn't sound like there are enough people to have a conference >on this side of the world. A pity. Good luck. I bet we can arrange for a few extra copies of the latest 'The Bulb Garden" , a small pack of book marks and encouragement. Even a simple bulb and plant exchange can spark some interesting conversations. Enjoy. Jim W. -- Dr. James W. Waddick 8871 NW Brostrom Rd.
