Dear Jim, I agree that prolonged discussions may get boring, I also agree that the discussion has gone on long enough that interested people may now ask questions from either google, text books or botanists. However while you may have graduated from basic gardening through horticulture, and then botany, -or perhaps through chemistry then botany, others have yet to do so. If you don't take care of your Intake years and their basic knowledge, they will remain at a disadvantage for the rest of their bulb growing days, much to the detriment of the bulb growing world.
