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:
Kindly review the list below and email me (do not reply to this email) 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:
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 to other countries.
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.

Below are some photos of the plants i put in this BX. I redid a lily bed and thinned out the multiples about 2 weeks ago before the cold snap. With the demise of the local regional lily societies. I have no other outlet to share excess.
Sinningia tubiflora one bulb from PDN turned into 1000s in a few years left in the ground.
Sinningia warmingii in ground year round in zone 6b sunny position in raised bed of well drained loam, makes a single huge "bulb" over time.
RG tet OT Sunset from Bob's rescue
Nutcracker 4n on right. Crosses with 3n Asiatic lilies.
The bed i dug and re did. Photo is mostly OTs and ATs before the aurelians bloom.
Several of the yellow aurelians were single bulbs found when mixing the soil so they are unknown and were separated by location. I cited yellow because most lilies were yellow in this bed but they could be whites with orange
Hi: For those of you who are waiting for the late Arisaema consanguineum seeds, here is a picture of the very attractive leaf, showing the silver centered leaflets. These come upso late that I think those of you in colder climates should be able to grow these out in the garden year-round, without danger of freeze or frost damage. I will send these to Jan in about a week along with the rest of my Arisaema seeds.
