WELCOME TO THE PACIFIC BULB SOCIETY WIKI

This is a volunteer-written encyclopedia about flower bulbs. You'll find
information on thousands of bulb species (with photos in most cases), plus
selected hybrids. We also cover related topics like how to grow them, how to
obtain them, our personal favorite bulbs, and where to see them in the wild and
in gardens. We include all "geophytes": plants with an underground storage organ
such as bulbs, corms, rhizomes, and tubers.




The common bulbs you can find in a garden center are nice, but pale in
comparison to the beauty and uniqueness of many species bulbs and their
lesser-known hybrids. The photos you see here are just a sampling of the
incredible diversity that's out there waiting for you to discover it. Many of
these gorgeous plants are easy to grow, but almost unknown in cultivation.
What’s worse, many of the species are also threatened with possible extinction
as their native lands are developed into buildings and farms. We’re devoted to
spreading information about these plants, and teaching people how to grow them
and keep them alive.




This guide was created by the members of the Pacific Bulb Society e-mail
discussion list, a group of people from around the world who are interested in
growing and gardening with bulbs. Our members range from experts to beginners.
Membership in the e-mail forum is free, and open to anyone. Click on the link
for more information on the forum, and also to search the archives of our online
discussions.

You're also invited to join the nonprofit Pacific Bulb Society, which conducts
seed and bulb exchanges, and publishes a quarterly newsletter on bulbs. Your
membership fee helps support the society’s activities, including this wiki.

The centerpiece of our wiki is the index of all the photographs and information
we've posted about bulbs. This is the place to go if you’re looking for
information on a particular bulb species or genus. (Please note that the
photographs in this wiki belong to the people credited on the wiki pages, and
may not be reused or reproduced without their permission.)

The links below take you to additional information on special topics. Links to
web pages outside our wiki are preceded by a flower.
