Amaryllidaceae Book! (Lee Poulsen)

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.)
