Two places to start: PBS website, so all that member stuff including BX/SX https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/ Bottom line with the BX/SX is watch for the announcement, reply offlist with your request list, wait to see what you got (a thankfully fairly quick process, all hail Luminita!), then finding spots for all the goodies! The Wiki, wow, days of exploring https://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… As a relatively new member the knowledge and resources here are spectacular, heck just watching the images go by would be worthwhile. The generosity of members on unofficial exchanges is also impressive. I'm kind of on the opposite end of the Mediterranean climate from you (San Francisco), but I try to grow the same types of plants...but will the summer be warm and dry enough? For the cloud forest plants, can I keep them irrigated? For the subtropical/tropical geophyte aroids, will it be warm enough that the leaves don't succumb to fog/wind/rot but don't forget the irrigation? A small Gladiolus equitans (Lachenalias in the background plus South African daisies) and Amorphophallus konjac, just starting to unfurl (so the stink is on its way).
