Bulb Log 2017

[Ian Y]

Dave I am in agreement with your observations, in the Bulb Log I was referring to the general gardening use of the term germination to indicate the appearance the first leaves above ground which is happening now.
The initial growth in Trillium seed is fascinating and as you show starts, depending on conditions, any time from mid summer to autumn which relates to the new root and bud growth that is also happening underground in many species which I have also showed in previous Bulb Logs, http://www.srgc.org.uk/bulblog/log2006/090806/log.html

The plants and gardeners endure extremes from glorious sunshine to heavy wind and rain but the Bulb log continues.

Cograts. What is it and what does it do

[Maggi Young]

    Not a lot, but it does mean that copies are "deposited " for posterity with the British Library and that anyone with the number can track it - it's a sort of formality I suppose - in that it  formalises the publication - bit like your parents getting married!

[David Nicholson]

Ah, I see now. There ought to be a copy of the Erythronium Book in the British Library?

[Maggi Young]

Because it's an online publication it need not  be there in the paper , so to speak - they keep copies of everything like that online  in some sort of digital library. To be honest I don't understand exactly how it works!
