This is an excellent suggestion. I believe that most (if not all) of 
us grow plants from both hemispheres and it would be a great way to 
track what is going on with our bulbs from various climates, perhaps 
encourage some of the less adventurous of us (like myself) to attempt 
bulbs we would have otherwise not considered as suitable for our 
conditions.
