Hello members, Being a new comer to the group I was amazed at you wiki site. What a wealth of information. It even prompted me to add more bulbs to my collection given that I can now find out a bit about them and their habits. I have even gone so far as to begin planning to South Africa next year to see just what remarkable things are there. I do not plan to travel with a group because I like to move about on my timeline rather than the group's. Since many of you have already made this trek I am interested in hearing what advice you may give me regarding such an adventure. Time of year, how to best get about, places to stay, special places to see; those kind of things that makes it easy to cram as much into the trip as possible. No need to clog the newsletter with that kind of information so feel free to contact me at fosterjpatcox.net. Thank you in advance for whatever you offer, Regards, Jim Foster Santa Barbara
