Re: South African bulbous plants

Armando:

This e-group/forum is filled with dozens -- more maybe
-- of members who are "experts" in the subject of
South African Cape bulbs.

Many of the members here are professionals at some
level in the horticulture industry as designers,
botanic garden workers, garden writers, nurserypeople,
propagators, etc.

More importantly, most of the members here are
gardeners, professional and amateur, who have many
years experience with all manner of Mediterrean-style
plants, including and maybe especially, South African
bulbs.

Until someone creates a "South African Bulbs"
e-group/forum, I am confident that this group is the
most thoroughly focused on the class of plants that
interest you.

You are welcome to exchange views here and I look
forward to hearing of the bulbs you grow in Portugal.

Regards,
Joe
