The World of Unusual Bulbs

This is a Zoom talk. Bulbs are fascinating structures and are present on all continents other than Antarctica. They grow in a variety of different environments including some of the harshest and wettest.

Only a few are commonly available in the trade but there are so many more unusual hardy and tender ones we can grow in our gardens, containers or as houseplants. It can be a fun exercise sourcing bulbs or seeds so let’s delve in to some of these unusual types.
