Hello everyone, please excuse my poor (european) english. As a new member since a few days, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Mario Klesczewski, I'm a 45 year old german living in southern France, and working as a botanist on plant conservation in the field. For instance, we organize the conservation management of the unique (and probably wild) population of Iris xiphium in France... My favourite hobby is growing wild plants in my (more or less) natural garden, of course a lot of species producing bulbs, corms and so on, but other genera too...Carex for example... Your exchanges are very interesting and I'm really impressed by all your knowledge. I hope being able to contribute sometimes, by sending photos of some european taxa lacking in your photograph pages for example, and by sending seeds of interesting (non protected) species too, if possible. kind regards Mario _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
