I am on Facebook, joined the Thai Zephyranthes and Habranthus group, as well as the English speaking one. It compliments the PBS. An interest in bulbs can be a very lonely thing. Certainly here where I live, I have no-one who has a similar interest. It is wonderful to communicate with others of like mind. To exchange seeds and ideas, I revel in it. And the acknowledgement of each achievement. And I have learned a lot from the Facebook group. Yes, for a lot of the learned knowledge I go to the PBS. Bulb growing takes both knowledge and social interaction with exchange of ideas and seeds. For those who are so lucky, even exchange of bulbs..... Knowledge on its own is a lonely thing.
