Amaryllidaceae Book! (Lee Poulsen)

Yeah, I have found similar FB groups for different gesneriads. There's a
Brazilian group for Sinningias, and a Vietnamese group for Aeschynanthus.
I can't read most of the posts but the photographs are outstanding.

Hi,
I'm actually a bit sad to hear that there is an active tigridia group on
FB - another hefty blow to my resistance against the evil kraken. All I can
hope is that some things will leak here or elsewhere in the free web :-(
But I totally agree that there should be more books like this
Amaryllidaceae book - the perfect blend between classic botanical
descriptions and cultivation hints. definitely a must have if one is even
remotely interested in SA's amaryllids. All I'd need now is a pocket book
or Ebook version to read on the train to work.

Also, via Facebook, there are starting to be serious and growing groups
of native Latin Americans pursuing certain genera/families of bulbous
species, collecting and sharing seeds and trying to increase awareness of
the rarer species of Latin America, all in Spanish for a change. The
Tigridia group especially seems to be flourishing—and it’s almost becoming
a Latin American Irids group more than just the Tigridia cultivars and
species group it started out as. I would love to ask some of them who are
posting photos of things I’ve never seen before to possibly allow their
photos to be added to the PBS wiki/encyclopedia. (Like I recently saw
photos of a pure yellow Leontochir (Alstroemeria) ovallei taken in the
current spectacular flowering of the Atacama Desert this year.)
