Ann Schandelmayer , our new Secretary, joined our Society in 1985 coming from a long commitment to the Federation of Garden Clubs where she is the Chaplain and continues to be  a major force. Her superb creativity in

blending plant material for artistic arrangements has won her many awards. She has also taught student judges the intricacies of the genre, as

in  this 2005 class.

 She was interested in

Bromeliads much before

1985 and still keeps her

 Billbergia ‘Fantasia’,

one of the earliest bromeliads

she collected.

 

 

 

          

 

 

 

 

 

Although hurricane Wilma did severe damage to

her plants and yard, some are slowly recovering   like the Neoregelias and Nidulariums below.
