I really hope the board votes for going with a forum. And then acts upon it sooner than later, lol. One of the forums I belong to has an annual auction that benefits a charity. The entries are not limited to any plant category since it’s for charity. A new post is created by the donor, and people bid by responding. This funding could go for paying for the forum on a yearly basis. Separately, it would also be fun to have a yearly trade. Perhaps the auction in May and trade in October. I like Bob’s idea of sharing with other members, even outside of bulbs. If we had a forum, people not interested in partaking, wouldn’t get bombarded with all the communication of who has what to offer.
