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 quickly.  It will make my job a little easier.

*This BX will be open for orders until Thursday, August 31, 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) at 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 should be paid upon receipt through the PBS website at:
https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbsforum/index.php?page=BXpay

Please be sure to reference the BX number above, this helps us with accounting.
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.

Hey Bob: 
Just saw this message... yeah, not the optimum way to care for a corm.  It's in a huge pot and I can stand beneath it this year.  Zero variegation.  And every offset from last year has no variegation either.  Interesting.

Hello, Everyone:

I have been receiving and sorting boxes of bulb donations over the last few weeks and will be posting the availability list (hopefully by Monday evening).  Keep an eye out as I have some nice things on offer.

Thanks! 
Bridget

BX Manager

All:

The donation window for the autumn 2023 US BX is now open until August 25 (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; 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.

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

Thanks in advance!
Bridget

I'll have to go check my compost pile.  I've chucked several back there.  Plants never fail to impress me.  I love when seemingly dead bulbs come back to life (something magic about the compost pile!)

They are a lot of fun to grow.  My largest corm weighed in at 18 lbs. when I potted it this year.  Be prepared.  It only took about 8 years to reach that weight - and that's after I chonked a quarter of it digging out of the ground two years ago.

Hi Everyone:

Member Chad Cox has donated a bit of crinum seed.  It's beginning to pop and needs to be sown as soon as possible.
If anyone is interested, please let me know.  Kindly email me your choice(s) at bulbexpbs@gmail.com. Available are:

1. Crinum Macowanii 'African Queen'
2. Crinum bulbispermum 'Jumbo' and
3. Crinum bulbispermum

hybrid

This offer is first-come, first served and will be open for until Tuesday evening (July 25). Please respond to me asap as I intend to get this seed out the door mid-week.
Thanks.

Bridget

Hi everyone: I inadvertently omitted two items when I posted the recent BX. 
Member Janet Hoffman donated Tulipa clusiana

(#121) and Hyacinthoides hispanica

(#122).
Should you be interested in either or both of these two items, kindly send me an email right away and I can add to any orders. Hoping to have this BX out the door Saturday or Monday at latest. 
Thanks!
Bridget

Hi everyone:
I have some additions to the BX below. 
Feel free to add to your order if you wish. Please send an email to bulbexpbs@gmail.com. Any spelling errors are mine alone.

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!
Bridget

Sorry for the omission, Mary Sue.

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.

This BX will be open for orders until Wednesday, April 26 at 9:00 p.m. PST

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.
Please be sure to reference 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.
