Dear PBS friends - I did not coordinate with Diana, but her offer is an excellent way to aid the people suffering in the CA fires, but also get you new bulbs. I am willing to bet that if you added $20 or more to your order and asked for this money to go to these same local charities she’d be very willing and you’d feel much better. And she is having a sale, too. Jim W..

I used to live very close to the town of Paradise, and knew many people who lived there. I go back every year to that area to collect seeds, and the native bulb enthusiasts who have bought from me undoubtedly have bulbs that came from seed from the area. The bulbs will survive. The community is gone. So with the sale, you get bulbs, the victims get some help, albeit a tiny drop in the enormous ocean of help needed. If you can, donate directly, to the American Red Cross, or to local charities who are on the ground helping. You can find them by Googling how to help victims of the Camp fire.
