We received this message from Maria about a rather impressive "bulb" described below. She was able to supply a picture which is posted in the Mystery Bulbs section of the PBS website. If you have an ID, you can contact Maria directly (maryahsirocco@hotmail.com), or you can post to this group and I'll forward the message. Thanks!
