Hi All, We are making steady progress with the bulb and seed exchange. Our new Director, Luminita Vollmer, will be making an announcement shortly. My apologies for the delays, but the board wants everything to work properly and without confusion. We will have some new guidelines for donations so we don't overwork our new Director. These will be announced on line and a link will be in the next Bulb Garden which I am preparing now. Further information will be found on the web in the next few days as our Webmaster, David Pilling, updates the information. On another note, as we all try to stay occupied, a chance announcement regarding Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon caused me to check their bulb section of new and used. They often have excellent bulb books that are used, one being Martyn Rix's paperback photo book of Bulbs which I use constantly. So, yes, I ordered five at incredibly moderate prices. If you can't work outside, buy books! John Bryan's revised edition of his Bulbs was less than half the price of new. And no, I avoid Amazon, preferring to support my local booksellers. If anyone is interested in serving on the PBS Board, please contact me. In the meantime, be thinking of preparing donations to the SX/BX. Regards, Robin Hansen President, PBS Hansen Nursery robin@hansennursery.com _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/…
