PBS Forum

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.

Please be advised that I will be listing a BX (with lots of fabulous things) this weekend.  I am hoping to have the list together Friday night (Eastern Standard Time). If you sent a donation and I did not acknowledge same, kindly contact me asap.

Also, please assure that you are up-to-date on your membership and/or outstanding fees for the Exchanges as we cannot send items to folks with outstanding balances.

Thanks!

Hi Everyone:
I have received a donation of things that cannot wait for BX 482 in a couple weeks.
Member Amy Olmstead has sent the following:


1. Sauromatum giganteum (10). I have attached a picture of mine in flower.

2. Juvenile amorphophallus konjac corms beginning to break dormancy (7) and



3. Cyrtanthus sp.- in active growth (approximately- 15)  Unsure of species, attaching picture. This was a pass-along plant Amy received from someone's patch that has been extant for 30 years or so.

Kindly email me at BulbexPBS@gmail.com with your order.  I intend to get these shipped by Friday, July 15, and will take orders until Thursday at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.  This offer is open to members who are in good standing and I regret that I cannot ship to countries that require a phytosanitary certificate.

Thank you,
Bridget Wosczyna

Hello, Everyone,

I had quite an experience with the first big BX I handled and I learned a lot. A LOT.
It went fairly smoothly and some hiccups occurred but overall, I hope most folks were satisfied.

I have taken a breather, attended to my garden and am advised by a few donors that it's time for another.  I admit I am happy about this as it has been my desire to get us back to more frequent BXs. 

Therefore, kindly take stock and send me your extras! The deadline for donations will be Sunday July 17. If you have things that you wish to send, but cannot get to them timely (vacations, etc, I understand.  Please send along afterward but do advise me that you are sending (bulbexpbs@gmail.com) so I can keep an eye out; I'm not opposed to small BXs in between seasonal offerings).  I plan on posting a list the following weekend.  I still have some dormant bulbs from the last BX and will offer them as well. 

I hope everyone is enjoying summer. 
Best,
Bridget

The flies are common enough but I've not seen ants visiting arum inflorescences previously.
The garden is quite ripe at the moment but it's a lovely plant. 

Hello Bridget and Canadian members

I don't recall ever seeing a post about Canadians participating in the Bulb
Exchanges and have assumed that this is not possible.
Can someone please confirm whether this is the case, or what the protocols
are?

Cheers,

Below is a list of bulbs available for BX 481.
I will keep the BX open until June 1 at 11 p.m.
*Kindly note the following*:

You will need to send me an email directly at Bulbexpbs@gmail.com. * DO NOT
REPLY TO THIS EMAIL. *

You must be a current member to order. If you are unsure if you are current
in your membership, kindly reach out to Jane McGarry at
janemcgary@earthlink.net.  I cannot honor requests of unpaid members.

Send me a list of the number and name of the bulbs you wish to receive.  I
will also require your full name and mailing address.

I am not yet affixing labels to the bulb envelopes. I may do this in the
future, but you will need to refer to this email or the List for the time
being to discern what you received and I will write a number on the
envelope. Each bulb sent (or envelope with multiples) will be $3.
