members in various countries

Hi,

There are more than 550 email addresses subscribed to this free pbs
list. Membership in the paid Pacific Bulb Society is not required to
subscribe to the pbs list or to post to the pbs list or to
participate in the pbs wiki. Since the pbs list is private in the
sense that email addresses are hidden from other subscribers, the
only way we know where people live is when they post and include this
information. The majority of the subscribers do not post so it is
impossible to answer a question about where people on the pbs list live.

On the other hand the Pacific Bulb Society sends out a membership
directory every other year that lists contact information and
interests and other information people choose to share with other
paid members of the group. It is one of the benefits of joining and
paying the modest annual membership fee ($20 for people in the US)
and ($25 for others) along with the BX and the quarterly publication,
The Bulb Garden.

From my experience it has been wonderful meeting with people from
around the world who are interested in growing bulbs. I consider
some of these people I have met to be my best friends and before the
Internet I never would have found them.

Subscribers who live in New Zealand may want to contact Ina Crossley.

Those in Australia may want to contact Shelley Gage.

(I'm spelling out the @, but you'll need to send messages in the
normal email fashion.)

There is an Australian_Bulb list on Yahoo and an AB_images list on
Yahoo. Both have subscribers from Australia and other countries. Some
people from Australia who are interested in bulbs are on those lists
and not ours, but there are some common members of both.
