Dylan, I fully agree with yours and others' sentiments that sharing plants and propagules is the only substantive way to ensure a future for a particular plant or taxon. I was arguing a smaller point about the value of online documents for collaborative information aggregation when it comes to the records-keeping side of horticulture and conservation. I took if from prior discussion that some members were considering creating a database of bulb-related info and I merely wanted to emphasize that online documents provide many benefits to collaborative endeavors such as that. -|<ipp > Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2014 17:49:12 -0800 > From: othonna@gmail.com > To: pbs@lists.ibiblio.org > Subject: Re: [pbs] ENSURING THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANTS > > Kipp, > > You speak of the manipulation of information but little about real world > purpose.
