Sarah,

I second Paul's suggestion & recommend you plan on spending the day because
there's so much to see. The volunteers are extremely knowledgeable &
willing to help.

The UC Botanical Garden in Berkeley has a very large South African
collection with many bulbs. The winter growing species are now coming into
full leaf. Some are already in bloom and others should start blooming early
spring spring. Summer blooms occur thereafter. As a bonus, you'll get to
see bulbs from all other places in the world.

Paul.

Hello,

I am new to PBS and have gotten interested in trying to grow South

African

bulbs (in my greenhouse). I'm hoping that this group, with all it's
knowledge and experience might perhaps be able to help me out from time

to

time as I try to figure out what I am doing!

I hear that there are some good collections of South African bulbs in
California. Can you tell me where they are and when the best time to go
is? I'm particularly interested, at this point, in Moraeas and
Geissorhizas, but I'd like to see whatever I can.

thanks so much,
