In August 2004 the Pacific Bulb Society List topic of the week was favorite pink flowered bulbs. Participants mentioned these bulbs as favorites. They are listed below alphabetically, sometimes with comments, followed by the name and the location of the person who named them as favorite, usually from experience growing them. If there were pictures of these plants on the PBS wiki, a link was added to the picture. There seemed to be some difference of opinion about what is pink and what is purple so plants listed here might be placed on the favorite purple list and vice versa.
