I've had a few interesting blooms in the garden in the last couple months that might interest some of you.

On the topic of the juniper, I would guess that the heating to 300 degrees would cause the oils and other volatiles in the wood to evaporate out. Might be worth trying on something not too valuable.

Yeah, no idea why I can't get in. Maybe because I'm outside the US and it doesn't allow that? In any case I'll have to make a point of visiting next year. It's a bit of a drive from Macomb county...

Hmm, that's interesting. I'm basing my observation on C. maculatum mostly, which can get very long p-bulbs too but also very thick. Large ones can get to be about the size of a forearm.
Maybe C....
