Special Edition Scurf

You will see that we have wrapped the outside cover of the Scurf on  the 2007 Extravaganza Program. We are so pleased how the Ex 2007 program turned out and we wanted each of you to have one.

Please don’t forget to bring it with you to the Extravaganza.

The amount of people that will be attending is getting larger and larger; we have guests coming from as far away as Hawaii, California, South America….. This is going to be quite an event!

All of the efforts that have been performed by the Show Chair and the Committees are really paying off.  Thank you everyone!!!!!

Next Meeting September 17th, 2007

  Guest Speaker : Dr. Theresa Bert

Topic: “Bromeliad Evolution: From Tepuis and Highlands to

                    Lowlands, Seashores, Mountains, and Deserts”

  In this presentation, I talk about the development of bromeliad genera from the earliest bromeliads to now and about their spread throughout Western Hemisphere warm regions and adaptation to different climates.  To tell this story, I use bromeliad shape and form (morphology), genetics, distribution, and ecology and Western Hemisphere climatic and geographic history.

To learn more about Dr. Bert, please refer to the EX 2007 program.

 

Raffle table will be open

On the Cover

Neoregelia “milagro”

This is another Chester Skotak hybrid.

There is a fantastic article in the February 2007 edition of the

Orlandiana titled “ Costa-Rican Shangri-La. However, this article first appeared in the May 2000 issue of “The Bromeliad Advisory”

You can pull this up on the internet.

 

See you at the meeting, Colleen
