Talkin' About Bulbs

There is lots of information out there about flower bulbs, but when you put in a search about a particular species, especially if it's an uncommon one, many of the entries are rather repetitive, and you wonder if the author has ever actually grown the bulb in question. That's when I like to turn to bulb forums (message boards); you are reading comments of people who are actually growing (or failing to grow) the bulb you're interested in, and often you can find entries from folks roughly in your climate zone. Also, while looking for information about a particular topic, I always run across discussions about other plants that carry me off in other directions. There are lots of different well-known forums, but here are several out of the way sites that are very interesting, that you may not have run across:
First, the Pacific Bulb Society Forum; while this covers mainly bulbs I can only dream about growing outside (it's heavy in South African species), it's still fun to read. http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/pbs/
Second, the electronic garden sites (Listserv); there is a specific site for the Great Lakes Bulb Society, at the website https://listserv.surfnet.nl/archives/bulbs-l.html
However, I think the general Listserv alpine site is much more active, and often therefore has more bulb information https://listserv.surfnet.nl/archives/alpine-l.html
The last (and best) site is that of the Scottish Rock Garden Club; their forum is filled with fanatical gardeners, who love sharing their gardens. The website has other interesting features, like articles, and reports from gardening shows with wonderful pictures; it's just wonderful place to visit http://www.srgc.org.uk/index.html
