Be sure to read Kim Andrews article in this issue on The Uniqueness of Mangaves. Pictured is Mangave ‘Pineapple Express.’ CACSS 1 of 23 January 2020 DYANA HESSON Photos and Text by Dyana Hesson Join Dyana on January 12, at 2 p.m., in Dorrance Hall at the Desert Botanical Garden for our monthly program. Botanical artist Dyana Hesson loves a good adventure. She was born and raised in the gold country of Northern California. As a kid, she was always happiest exploring outdoors and rarely settled down to read a book all the way through. Left: Dyana with saguaro blossoms. Right: Lion and the Lamb, Agave and Sego Lily, Sedona. When Dyana’s father gave her his old 35mm film camera in elementary school, her skinned knees and grass-stained clothes gave way to a quiet appreciation of aesthetic beauty. She was interested in the landscape but more than just scenic vistas. At close range, the hues and contours of flowers and plants caught her eye. Some of the first things she photographed were the succulents growing in her mother’s garden. A hard worker but a struggling student, Hesson found her gift of painting in an art class in college. She changed her major and studied art at Arizona State University where she developed her style of applying thin layers of oil paint with very little texture. After graduating with honors, Dyana combined her newly found skills with the work ethic of CACSS 2 of 23 January 2020 her childhood, and soon art collectors eagerly invested in her radiant paintings. -

natstand: last updated 09/12/2016 URL: www.natstand.org.uk/pdf/HanburyAF000.pdf Root person: Hanbury family Description: Overview of family Creation date: 2016 December 9 Prepared by: Richard Middleton Notes: Daniel Hanbury FRS FLS (1825 – 1875) Sir Thomas Hanbury (1832 – 1907) Sir Cecil Hanbury FLS MP ( 1871 – 1937) Frederick Janson Hanbury FLS (1851 – 1938) Press items reproduced with kind permission of The British Newspaper Archive ( www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk ) About Natstand family documents: A Natstand family document is intended to provide background information concerning the family of a deceased naturalist. It is hoped that such information will form a framework which will help interpret their surviving correspondence, specimens and records. In some cases it will also give an insight into the influences on their early lives and the family constraints within which they worked and collected. We have found that published family data concerning individuals rarely contain justification for dates and relationships and not infrequently contain errors which are then perpetuated. The emphasis in Natstand family documents will be on providing references to primary sources, whenever possible, which will be backed-up with transcriptions. Although a Natstand biography page will always carry a link to a family document, in many cases these documents will be presented without any further biographical material. We anticipate that this will occur if the person is particularly well known or is someone we are actively researching or have only a peripheral interest in. The following conventions are used: Any persons in the family tree with known natural history associations will be indicated in red type. -

ALWIN BERGER BIOGRAPHY Chuck Staples, CSSA Historian
ALWIN BERGER BIOGRAPHY Chuck Staples, CSSA Historian Berger, Alwin (1871-1931)—best known for his contribution to the nomenclature of succulent plants, particularly Agaves and Cacti—one of the first to give serious study relating to the evolutionary development, diversification and relationships of cacti. Born in the small village Möschlitz in the state of Thuringia in central Germany, on 28 August 1871, Alwin Berger became a landscape gardener, botanist and succulent plant researcher. After school, he became a gardener and worked in several nurseries and botanical gardens between 1887 and 1897. Berger then became curator of the Hanbury garden 'La Mortola' in Italy until World War I in 1915 — where he came in contact with cactus and succulent plants. It was during this time that Carl Ludwig Sprenger (1846–1917), partner at Dammann & Company horticultural house in Naples, Italy, suggested Berger study succulent plants more in detail. After the War Berger worked at the King's Park and Garden in Stuttgart, Germany until 1923. He then went to America where he worked at the New York State Experimental Station in Geneva, New York for 3 years —returning to Germany to take charge of the botanical section of the Museum of Natural History in Stuttgart for the rest of his life. Berger had correspondence and personal contacts with many gardeners, botanists and biologists such as Dr Nichaolas Edward Brown (1849–1934), Professor Moritz Kurt Dinter (1868–1945), Dr Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (1834–1919), Dr Joseph Nelson Rose (1862–1928), Camillo Karl Schneider (1876–1951), Dr Frederick Albert-Constantin Weber (1830–1903) and Dr Richard Wettstein (1863–1931), all connected to succulent plants in one way or another. -
