Below, Alcantarea imperialis– quite a specimen. This has been growing in his yard for about 15yrs.

Collecting for over 20yrs, Bud Hendrix, most of the time, can be found in his yard. He and his wife Alice moved here in 1977 and his neighbor, Jim Fisher who was an avid collector had these beauties in his yard and that’s where it all began for Bud. Well, from that time on Bud has been a member of the BSBC.  He has served on the Board for about 10yrs and runs the plant sales table at the meetings. Also, his serene  garden has been a stop for various garden clubs. He enjoys entering in the shows and thru the years has won “Best in Show” and “ The Sweepstakes”
