I like Facebook, when used cautiously. I have learned bulb-related
things from the various groups I belong to that have been very helpful
and I love seeing how others are growing species "amaryllises". I
always check the Web and the scientific literature, when possible,
before adopting a culture procedure but Facebook is a good supplement.
I found the Pacific Bulb Society in a Google search that led me to the
plant pictures and descriptions, originally, but didn't join until
someone mentioned the List and the BXs in a bulb group Facebook post.
A more extensive FB page could let people know the range of resources
on the PBS website to avoid ownership issues with images. A closed
site that people have to join would minimize inappropriate postings.
