All: Please read this post/email in its *entirety *prior to ordering so we will have no confusion for ordering and your boxes can get out to you much more quickly.  It will make my job a little easier. Please.

*This BX will be open for orders until Thursday, June 29, 2023 at 9:00 p.m. PST*

Standard rules apply for this BX:

Kindly review the list below and email me with your request(s) to bulbexpbs@gmail.com.
I will send a simple acknowledgement of your email.  Should you not have a response from me within a day, please resend.

Be sure to include your full name and current address.

Bulbs are $3 each.  Some of these are only one share and in short supply.

This will be a lottery (however, if you did not receive something last round, kindly advise and I will try to assure some accommodation. Also, if there is something you really are looking to receive, it helps for me to know this as well.)

You must be current in your membership and you must be up-to-date on BX/SX charges. If you are uncertain, feel free to check with Jane McGary or Arnold Trachtenberg.

KINDLY NOTE:

Orders must be paid for through the PBS website at:
https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbsforum/index.php?page=BXpay

Please be sure to reference the BX number above.
You are still free to send payment via check if that is your preference.

No orders to anywhere but the US and (sometimes) Canada can be entertained at this point.  We cannot furnish the appropriate phyto docs to other countries.

Thank you as always to our current donors.  Be advised that any and all mistakes on spelling are likely mine.  If donors see an issue with their listed item, please feel free to chime in.

Additionally, I expect a couple additions to this list as I am waiting on a list from another donor I hope to receive prior to sending our allocated bulbs.

All:

I have a nice list of things to distribute this BX due to the generosity of our member donors.  Some things are in short supply, but I hope to be able to accommodate everyone's wishes.  When I post the list, I will advise of the items that I only have in ones or twos, so as not to disappoint anyone who responds.

Look for an email (and post here) by Saturday June 24, 10 p.m. EST (PA, USA).  

Thanks!
Bridget

All:

The donation window for the next 2023 US BX is now open until June 20 (if you need additional time, kindly advise). Please read below carefully, thanks!

I am ready to accept donations of clean, healthy bulbs at this time.  I am not requiring that donors pre-package the donations in ready-to-go packets at this time; I find it easier and more effective to do this myself according to demand and realize not everyone has time to sort and separate, other than species.  I will need you to at least label the bag or box to easily identify the bulbs.

Each donor will be credited the postage for the donation or a minimum of $5.

Feel free to include comments or instructions for your donated items, most of us need some help with new items to our collections.

Kindly send your donations to me at:

Bridget Wosczyna
731 Furnace Road
Morgantown PA 19543

Please be sure to send me an email advising that you have sent the bulbs so that I may keep an eye on my mailbox.

This notice will  be mailed out to the PBS mailing list as well.

Email me at bulbexpbs@gmail.com with any questions. 

Thanks in advance!

Everyone,

I am in receipt of some nice offerings from our members.  This weekend I will post our first BX for 2023.  I understand that many folks have not yet repotted their winter growers, and anticipate another in May.

Thank you for your continued interest and participation.

I am really looking forward to another stellar year for the BX.

Bridget

Hello!

I wanted to send out a notice that soon I will be asking for donations for the first 2023 BX.  I anticipate opening the donation window in early April for a distribution in early May.  Last year was stellar for donations and I surely hope we have as many generous donors and happy members in receipt of incredible material.

While you are repotting and looking at that overabundance of your bulbs, please consider sending along extras for the Exchange. We cannot do it without or generous members!

If you have questions, please feel free to reply here or email me privately at bulbexpbs@gmail.com.

Many thanks, as always,
Bridget  

Bulb Exchange Manager, Vice President

Hello everyone;

It was recently agreed that PBS would begin to forge a larger presence on social media.  To that end, I will be handling the recently created Instagram account. 

I'm excited to announce this today to our members and persons on the list that I have made our first post.

If you wish to follow, you need only search Pacific Bulb Society on the Insta app and you can begin to follow our account.  Be advised that I intend to keep the page "private" at this point so the page is not spammed. I will have to approve anyone who wishes to follow the page, if you intend to follow as a business and not an individual, kindly send me an email to let me know and I will accept your request.  Otherwise, we'd be seeing all kinds of offers in post responses and I assure you, some of them can get strange and irritating.  

I wanted to personally thank our member Zeon for grabbing the @PacificBulbSociety address so that we can utilize the PBS name as the place to find the page. He created an account when the idea was floated several weeks ago and he was gracious enough to hand the account over to me when I asked him to do so.  It was quick thinking on his part as often others may already be using the name when you try to create a new account.  For this I am very grateful; we have our name in full on the account and searches for our page will be very easy. 

I am keenly aware that not everyone participates in social media.  I'm not going to encourage anyone to do so if they are not inclined.  That's totally fine!

The Instagram account will simply be a page with nice pictures and minimal information on bulbs/flowers/tubers/corms/plants.  It will be an avenue for people to find PBS and hopefully help us grow our membership.  It will not have loads of information.  It will have a link to the membership in the bio.  The Insta account should only be considered a complement to our Wiki and the Forum. Instagram was not created for long discussions or deep-dives: it's basically eye-candy to promote interest in whatever subject is posted.  

Do you have something cool or interesting flowering or growing in your bulb garden?  Feel free to send me a few pictures privately and the name of the plant you're submitting.  We will not be getting in-depth with these posts since we have the most valuable tool already, our Wiki, which I also intend to promote. 

Feel free to email me privately with questions as I don't wish everyone to be overwhelmed with a thread in their in boxes.  I'm really looking forward to PBS having more of a presence on social media.  We need to encourage beginners and younger people as well as more experienced plant folks around the globe to join us in our passion of growing bulbs.

Thanks for your time,
Bridget
Vice-President/Bulb Exchange Manager
PBS  

All: You'll do me a favor and read this post/email in its entirety prior to ordering, won't you?  So we will have no confusion for ordering and your boxes can get out to you much more quickly?  I'll be grateful and especially thankful this week if you do. 

I will begin by acknowledging the late date for a BX.  Many of our members growing bulbs are on the west coast and I feel comfortable with making the offer.  My intention is to get this out the door on Saturday.  Therefore, this BX will be open until Wednesday at 9 p.m. PST. 

Any and all misspellings are entirely mine.  I needed to get the post up and did the best I could.  Should you find a necessary correction, feel free to make a post on the forum.  Jane isn't available today to check my list prior to posting, which is our normal protocol.
Standard rules apply for this BX:

Bulbs are $3 each.  Some of these are only one share and in short supply.

This will be a lottery (however, if you did not receive something last round, kindly advise and I will try to assure some accommodation. Also, if there is something you really are looking to receive, it helps for me to know this as well.)

You must be current in your membership and you must be up-to-date on BX/SX charges. If you are uncertain, feel free to check with Jane McGary or Arnold Trachtenberg.

This BX will be open until Wednesday, November 23 9:00 p.m.(PST).
My email to the membership list includes two attachments with donor notes from Rimmer and Jim.  Due to my technological limitations, I am unable to attach pdfs of the documents hereto due to some space constraints.  May try to make an addendum post to the forum with those documents tomorrow.

Thank you to our current donors.

All:
The weather is kind this week and still good for shipping in most cases. Therefore, another BX is here!

Standard rules apply for this BX.

Kindly review the list below and email me with your request(s) to bulbexpbs@gmail.com.
I will send a simple acknowledgement of your email.  Should you not have a response from me within a day, please resend.

Be sure to include your full name and current address.

Bulbs are $3 each.  Some of these are only one share and in short supply.

This will be a lottery (however, if you did not receive something last round, kindly advise and I will try to assure some accommodation. Also, if there is something you really are looking to receive, it helps for me to know this as well.)

You must be current in your membership and you must be up-to-date on BX/SX charges.

KINDLY NOTE:

Payments should no longer be made through the Paypal website due to changes in Paypal policies. PBS must be paid through the PBS website at: https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbsforum/index.php?page=BXpay

You are still free to send payment via check if that is your preference.

No orders to anywhere but the US and (sometimes) Canada can be entertained at this point.  We cannot furnish the appropriate phyto docs.

This BX will be open until Thursday, November 3 at 3:00 p.m. (EST)/12:00 p.m.(PST).

All:
It has come to my attention that now might be a good time for donations of amarylids as folks might be repotting for winter.  Should you have any extras, I will turn them around quickly if you can send to me very soon.  I could take gesneriads at this time too, if they are still dormant or of a size that they will not be too resentful of being unpotted for a couple of weeks.

Thanks in advance,
Bridget

This BX is the one that keeps on giving.  While sorting and prepping the bulbs for distribution, I came upon a box I had forgotten to include in BX 486.  I am posting the list below.  Kindly refer to the initial post/email for the rules that apply to this BX, the only caveat being this will be open until Wednesday afternoon (12 p.m. Pacific).

Email me at bulbexpbs@gmail.com with your request. 

For your consideration I have very few of the following (some only one bulb) from member Robert Parks:

45. Crinum macowanii

African King  BX468
46. Lachenalia multifolia

47. Cyrtanthus sanguineus

48. Brodiaea pallida

  BX470
49. Amorphophallus malkmus-husseini
50. Barnardia japonica

51. Gorgonidium sp.
52. Drimia lydenburgensis ex DHannon
53. Strumeria discifera
54. Urginea olivieri  ex DHannon
55. Albuca fragrans SX472
56. Cyrtanthus elatus

X montanus BX470

I have 8 small Massonia pustulata

'purpurea' just received from member Peter Shaw. 

Kindly send me an email at bulbexpbs@gmail.com if you are interested.

I am only leaving this offer up until all are spoken for as I intend to send all bulbs out in the next few days. 

Thanks!
Bridget

BX 486 is now open for orders! 
I will leave the ordering window open through the end of this week and will close on Friday, September 30, 2022 at 11:00 p.m. PST. The closure will be announced on the list and forum. This will be a lottery so everyone has an equal opportunity to get the most desired items.

Only current, up-to-date members may order from this exchange. If you are unsure about your membership status kindly contact Jane McGary at janemcgary@earthlink.net.  Likewise, you will need to be up-to-date on any money owed for previous orders. You can check with Arnold Trachtenburg at arnold140@verizon.net if you are unsure if you are current on orders made.

You are not required to be a donor to make an order, but please do consider donating if you have extras of your bulbs.  It's fine if you only have a few to spare!

Please review and take note of the following as it will streamline the distribution process:

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS LIST WHEN ORDERING.  You will need to send me an email separately at bulbexpbs@gmail.com.  Please be sure provide me with your full name and shipping address. I will make a brief acknowledgement of receipt of your email.

Additionally, when you make your order, it would be most helpful if you list the item number and bulb name.  It makes it much easier for me to match up orders.

Bulbs are $3 per portion. Very big or very rare bulbs may be more expensive. Postage is added to your order at cost.  If you are allotted an order, you will receive a box with a small slip of paper with your total due.  Donors, your postage credit will be deducted from your total due.

Payments for the BX may be through a check sent directly to Arnold or on the PBS Bulb Exchange webpage with the PayPal link. Please go to the bottom of the Bulb Exchange page and fill in the payment form at https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbsforum/index.php?page=BXpay

It will be most helpful if you reference the BX number when you make the payment.
 
Any questions may be directed to me at the bulbexpbs@gmail.com email.

Hi everyone:
I'm organizing a nice little BX this week.
Have some special treats from Jane McGary who is redoing her bulb beds (lucky us!) and a few other gems.
Keep an eye out. 
Thanks,
Bridget

Hi Everyone,

Chad Cox donated some sweet starts of a couple nice plants. But first, kindly see below:

This BX open for 36 hours (that's 2:00 am EST and 11:00 pm PST Monday/Sunday) - they leave my possession on Monday morning.
Standard rules apply: It's a lottery. You will get a reply from me acknowledging your request, but it will be just two words: "got it".  I spend a bit of time trying to sound friendly and I am, but it slows me down when I receive 50+ emails.  I beg your indulgence on this one.

You must be current on membership and any exchange fees you owe.  If you are unsure, email Jane McGary (janemcgary@earthlink.net) for membership questions and Arnold Trachtenberg (arnold140@verizon.net) for exchange fees potentially due.  

Send me an email to bulbexpbs@gmail.com and tell me what you are interested in.  I need your full name and full address.  
I know some folks will miss this email, it's the weekend, etc, but I won't usually need to move things this quickly.

A quick note, we have a few new members and that makes me very happy (as several of them are folks I know)  New members: feel free to email me if you have extras of things to share.  Even if it's just a few.  I assume we will have a larger BX sometime in the next couple months as summer growers go down.  In the interim, if you have something, keep us in mind. 

Only two things on offer this go-round:

1. Haemanthus albiflos  (a dozen or so small offsets with big potential!)
2. Cyrtanthus mackenii

(red) (another dozen or so - small but healthy)

Thanks and have a super rest of your weekend.
Bridget

All, 
Great participation for this quick BX.  
Nearly everything was spoken for.  Obviously, some things were very popular and in short supply.
There are several folks who did not get any of the choices they requested.  I regret there wasn't enough of the pelargonium to go round (only 1) and there was lots of interest in the calostemma and crossyne but very few of them as well. If you didn't get any of your picks this round, do remind me next time you order and I will make an effort to assure you receive something you're after.  Yes, it's a lottery, but I want all our members to benefit.

I sent half the boxes out today and the balance will go tomorrow.  
If you don't receive a box in the next week, you likely didn't get your choice(s). I keep an eye on the tracking so I can see if packages were delivered. If anything appears to be lost in transit, I will advise the recipient.
Thanks and have a super weekend.
Bridget

In an effort to keep things moving right along with the BX, here we are with a pop up right after the last boxes have gone out in the mail from the most recent BX.
Same rules apply: you must be current in your membership, you should have any outstanding BX or SX fees up to date and this will be a quickie, as boxes are going out by this weekend.  This offer will be open for a two days (until 6:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on Thursday evening, the 10th of August.)
Some items I only have a single bulb, the alliums are in great quantity.  
You need to email me at Bulbexpbs@gmail.com with a list of your picks as well as your full name and address.  I will acknowledge your email within 24 hours.  
I am making my first attempt at linking the wiki pics to the listing below.  Fingers crossed it works.
