CACTUS CORNER NEWS Fresno Cactus & Succulent Society Http CACTUS CORNER NEWS Fresno Cactus & Succulent Society http: www.fresnocss.org Vol.23, No. 5 Affiliated with the Cactus & Succulent Society of America May 2014 NEXT MEETING: Thursday, May 1, 7:00 P.M. (Doors open 6:30 P.M.) Deaf & Hard of Hearing Service Center (DHHSC), 5340 North Fresno Street, Fresno PROGRAM: Madagascar: the Plants, People and Places PRESENTED BY: Wendell S. (Woody) Minnich Madagascar is a special place, an island in many respects, where the plants, people and animals are as unusual as anywhere in the world. This presentation will feature most of the succulent plants that we find so special and address its most fascinating people, the Malagasy, with their intriguing heritage from the Malaysian, Arabian and African regions. Also, their many wonderful landscapes and biological regions. Because this island is so isolated from the main continent of Africa, its endemism of plants and animals, estimated at 6,400 species, is also very remarkable. One could spend a lifetime roaming this special island and not see it all. The plants from Madagascar are considered to be most spectacular, especially the succulents, palms, orchids and carnivorous genera. The succulent plants include such spectacular genera as: Adansonia, Adenia, Alluaudia, Aloe, Commiphora, Cyphostemma, Didierea, Euphorbia, Kalanchoe, Moringa, Pachypodium, Senecio and Uncarina. There are genera of palms including the Travelers Palm, the giant noble blue palm Bismarkia noblis and the famous bottle palm Chrysalidocarpus deciepens. The orchid species total more than 1,000 and many are considered some of the most unusual in the world. The carnivorous plants range from the fascinating Pitcher plants (Nepenthaceae) to the amazing Droseras. It can be said that it is difficult to ignore Madagascar’s tremendous diversity of plants, many of which are often growing side by side. Woody is most often associated with giving presentations, often internationally, on his field work from the places he has traveled, such as: Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Madagascar, Mexico, Namibia, New Zealand, Peru, Socotra, South Africa, the United States and Yemen. He has operated the nursery Cactus Data Plants since 1975. Woody and his wife, Kathy, live in New Mexico. He is a retired secondary school teacher of 32 years and is an honorary life member of nine C&S societies. With 42 years in the hobby and 44 years in the field, he has many experiences to share and numerous photos to show. Lets give Woody a warm welcome back to Fresno! Woody will have plants for you to purchase from his nursery.

It was a beautiful day, and I want to thank again all those who were involved in the event. We have several events this month in which the club will participate. Or, rather, there are two parts to the same event. Friday evening, May 2nd, the Friends of the Madden Library will present “Smart gardens: how to be water wise in times of drought”. John Valentino and Susan Stiltz will speak on transitioning traditional lawns to more drought-tolerant landscaping. Our club and several others have been asked to have an information table in conjunction with the program. The program begins at around 6 p.m. and is open to the public but you do need to RSVP, http://pawsforms.csufresno.edu/rsvp/reply. The following day, we will also have a booth at the Water-Wise Plant Event, 8 a.m. to noon, at the CSUF horticultural unit, NE corner of Barstow and Chestnut. I will be there to hand out information as well as free plants and cuttings. While I have been stockpiling these from my yard, I would be glad to accept any cuttings, etc., that any of you would like to donate. Before I forget it, we also had a table at the Clovis Botanical Garden “Spring into Your Garden” event at the end of March. I would like to thank Val McCullough and Paul Mitchell for helping staff our table. Others from our club were there also: Marian Orvis held down two tables, one for the Native Plant Society, the other for the Audubon Society; Madeleine Mitchell gave a presentation on succulents (she also helped Marian at the Native Plant Society table); Howard and Carol McLachlin were there for Fresno Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation; Ruth Saludes was one of the organizers of the event, which was notably better attended than had been true the previous year. It was a lot of fun and I want to recommend it to you for next year. We now turn our attention to our own Annual Show and Sale, June 7-8 at Sierra Vista Mall. Cindy Duwe is the Chair again this year and she will be looking to sign up members to assist with the event. You can help in any number of ways. Remember that we have a club sale table, selling donated plants, pots, books, etc. Your donations are welcome! A bit over a week ago our website was unavailable—“Bandwidth exceeded”. Webmaster Vickie Veen said this came about because we had too many visitors. The Cactus-Mall, which hosts our domain, went ahead and doubled our bandwidth at no extra charge, which brought us back up right away. Vickie will monitor traffic to our site and if we exceed bandwidth again we need to consider paying for more. What with smart phones, tablets, and other electronic doodads, it stands to reason that we will be experiencing increased visitors to our website. See you at the meeting. Sue BOARD MEETING: Monday, May 5th, 3733 N. Sierra Vista, Fresno; 6 p.m. The meeting is open to all members; board members are expected to attend.

  • Nutrition for Your Cacti
    Nutrition for Your Cacti March 2014. Thank you Fabrizio Barbieri! His pictures were very persuasive. The following piece is part of a collection of writings published on the Practical Small Cacti Malaysia site. It’s Not Hype or Guesswork In Malaysian schools, when we are really stumped at a question in an exam, we hantam – that is, in the case of multiple choice questions, we close our eyes and stab at the paper to pick an answer. We’re not going to hantam1 here. Everything will be backed by plausible science and there will be plenty of pictures that show actual results, such as the picture above. 1 Or tembak. Hit it or shoot it, take your pick. -1- Nicknames for Scientific Names PMag = Parodia magnifica GBald = Gymnocalycium baldianum PClav = Parodia claviceps MGeo = Myrtillocactus geometrizans GStella = Gymnocalycium stellatum GSteno = Gymnocalycium stenopleurum Added GStella and GSteno. GSteno is in the Gymnocalycium mihanovichii group within the genus Gymnocalycium, and I had trouble precisely identifying it. But flowers are off-white and opens wide, exactly like some pictures of GSteno on the Internet. As for GStella, it’s a rather variable species and many varieties of GStella have been described. I’ll just keep it simple and identify it as GStella. This naming scheme is purely for convenience. Just think of them as webchat nicknames. Fabrizio Barbieri’s Article in Acta Succulenta First, read the source article, which can be found in the open-access periodical Acta Succulenta: Fabrizio Barbieri, My Modest Opinion About Fertilizing Cacti and Succulents, Acta Succulenta 1(1) 2013.

Heft 2 • Februar 1989 • Jahrgang 40 • ISSN 0022 7846 Zum Titelbild: Das Einzugsgebiet des Rio Moctezuma im südlichen Hidalgo und mittleren Queretaro ist die Heimat von Astrophytum ornatum (De Candolle) Weber. Nördlich des Kurortes Tequisquiapan bildet der Fluß die Grenze zwischen diesen beiden Staaten des mexikanischen Hochlandes und hier finden sich auch die Standorte der schönsten Varietät der Art: Astrophytum ornatum var. mirbelii. Sie wurde bereits 1838 von Ch. L em aire beschrie­ ben und zeichnet sich durch ihre goldgelben Dornen aus. Ihre ebenfalls charakteristische dicht-weiße Beflockung reduzieren diese Pflanzen erst relativ spät im Übergang zum Erwachsenenstadium. Auffallend ist auch der breitfüßige Wuchs dieser Ornaten, die wie alle Verwandten bevorzugt steile Hänge und Ufer der Barrancas besiedeln. Tionoschcomitl, wie die Indianer solche und ähnliche Kakteen dort nannten, hat im Lauf seiner 150-jährigen Lite­ raturgeschichte viele Namen erhalten (vgl. den Beitrag “Die Namen der Astrophyten” in diesem Heft). Sein Epitheton “mirbelii” erhielt die Varietät zu Ehren des Botanikers Prof. Mirbel (1776 -1854), Direktor des Jardin des Plantes in Paris, dem Charles L em a ire besonders verbunden war.
