I’m glad that we will have some variety. That’s what I hoped for. I have a tiny question. Many of the bulbs have started to send up greenery in the packets. So I did as advised - plant and water and put in the shade. But it’s likely they will continue to sprout and grow now - in or off season of course. Any advice in how I proceed given the sprouting? They are all planted in moistened well draining soil in pots just below the surface. Thanks. What is ORNL?

That was necessary because the invoice must call out all the plants by genus and we have to have all those genera on our permit. So I asked Leigh to pack each genus separately and I made sure our permit includes all the possible genera. The culture cards on the bags show a particular species but you should expect that when your bulbs bloom there will indeed be an assortment. >> Sorry for any confusion. >> The second box has been sitting at DHL in Johannesburg for a week while Leigh tries to convince someone to put it on a plane. I have no rational explanation for what has been going on there - some truly world-class nincompoopery the likes of which I never saw in 23 years at ORNL, and that's saying something. Leigh and I hope we can get through this without one of us having a stroke. So please bear with us. >> Bob >> _______________________________________________ >> pbs mailing list >> pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net >> https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… >> Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> >> PBS Forum https://… > _______________________________________________ > pbs mailing list > pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net > https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… > Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> > PBS Forum https://… > _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://… _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net https://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> PBS Forum https://…
