This month in preparation for the cuttings we'll be making leading up to our Mothers Day weekend event, Ron will demonstrate how to make and label cuttings along with other topics. Please join him in room 104 at 7:00 pm on Wednesday March 11th. February Program: Last month everyone enjoyed learning more about George French than they ever knew before! Linda Sinkovic and Jerry Moreau gave us a wonderful program about George's life growing up, his family, his interest in plants and how he got started growing and hybridizing epies. We saw many of the epies George created, including some of his most recently registered hybrids. Many thanks to Linda and Jerry for putting this program together for us! March Program: It’s coming soon…that time off year we all look forward to…Mother’s Day weekend!! Everyone is busy getting their display together for the show…wait…you don’t have a display idea yet?...You’ve never been to our Mother’s Day show? Well, have we got a program for you!! We have a demonstration planned on setting up displays and a presentation of photos of recent Mother’s Day shows to give you inspiration. Remember there’s a novice category for first time entries!!

Gina is doing a great job planning "The Walk in the Park, Epi Salute to Balboa Park" Start thinking of your favorite spot in Balboa or a favorite park experience. How can you make a flower display around it? Remember if you don't have enough blooms, there are always blooms to share. So put on your thinking caps and start working on display ideas. Remember your display can be any size from a floral arrangement, a mini, half table, full table, two or more tables, or floor display, and don't forget the novice category for first time exhibitors. Let's have fun and be part of the Balboa Centennial! —Sandra Hopefully, many of you have been planning what you would like to do for your display.

  • There Are Other Species That Have Thin Trailing Stems, with Spine Clusters
    There are other species that have thin MottramPhoto: Roy Mottram Photo: Roy trailing stems, with spine clusters, and look like a normal cactus, for example Aporocactus (the Rat’s Tail Cactus, easy to grow and spectacular in a hanging basket) (Fig. 3) and Selenicereus (the Queen of the Night) (Fig. 4). This plant likes to climb and scramble along the rafters of a greenhouse, but be careful as it can push through vents. The flowers are produced throughout the summer and take several weeks to develop. The flowers begin to open around 8.00pm and are finished by 8.00am the next day, but it is worth staying up to see them. Around 230mm (9”) diameter, they form creamy white trumpets with brownish thin outer petals and are slightly scented. A third interesting genus is Rhipsalis with a profusion of, mainly, small flow- ers and colourful berries (Figs. 5a–c). It is a good idea to give all epiphytes a Fig. 3 Aporocactus flagelliformis, the Rat’s Tail Cactus spell outside during the frost free months of the summer. Hanging baskets can be hung under trees, where the dappled shade is ideal. Pots of epicacti like a shady wall, and will often set fruit. Suitable composts include any rich in humus or peat, preferably slightly acidic and with very good drainage by the liberal addition of grit, gravel and/or sharp sand. They often have quite small root systems, particularly schlumbergeras, so when repotting, choose a pot only a little larger than their current one. As for other cacti, leave dry for a week after repotting, and longer if there is any root damage or rot.

  • Some Major Families and Genera of Succulent Plants
    SOME MAJOR FAMILIES AND GENERA OF SUCCULENT PLANTS Including Natural Distribution, Growth Form, and Popularity as Container Plants Daniel L. Mahr There are 50-60 plant families that contain at least one species of succulent plant. By far the largest families are the Cactaceae (cactus family) and Aizoaceae (also known as the Mesembryanthemaceae, the ice plant family), each of which contains about 2000 species; together they total about 40% of all succulent plants. In addition to these two families there are 6-8 more that are commonly grown by home gardeners and succulent plant enthusiasts. The following list is in alphabetic order. The most popular genera for container culture are indicated by bold type. Taxonomic groupings are changed occasionally as new research information becomes available. But old names that have been in common usage are not easily cast aside. Significant name changes noted in parentheses ( ) are listed at the end of the table.

  • The Systematic Distribution of Vascular Epiphytes: an Update
    Selbyana 9: 2-22 THE SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OF VASCULAR EPIPHYTES: AN UPDATE w. JOHN KREss Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, 811 South Palm Avenue, Sarasota, Florida 33577 ABSTRACT. The list of vascular plant families and genera containing epiphytic species published by Madison (1977) is updated here. Ten percent (23,456 species) of all vascular plant species are epiphytes. Seven percent (876) of the genera, 19 percent (84) of the families, 45 percent (44) of the orders and 75 percent (6) of the classes contain epiphytes. Twenty-three families contain over 50 epiphytic species each. The Orchidaceae is the largest family of epiphytes, containing 440 epiphytic genera and 13,951 epiphytic species. Forty-three genera of vascular plants each contain over 100 epiphytic species. In 1977 Madison published a list of the vas­ those plants that normally spend their entire life cular plant families and genera that contain epi­ cycle perched on another plant and receive all phytic species.

  • INTRODUCTION Par G.D. Rowley
    INTRODUCTION par G.D. Rowley LEMAIRE Iconographie Descriptive des Cactées Introduction à l’édition Strawberry par Gordon Rowley L’ étude des cactus, en particulier de leur dénomination et de leur identification, a tou- jours été très dépendante de bonnes illustrations. En tant qu’objets tri-dimensionnels, les cactus ne se prêtent pas à la conservation en herbier, comme le savait déjà Bradley qui publia la première compilation dédiée aux plantes succulentes en 1716 ; un peu plus tard dans le siècle, l’Héritier en prit aussi conscience et attira l’attention du jeune peintre de fleurs Pierre-Joseph Redouté sur ces plantes piquantes en mal d’illustration. Les fleurs da cactus sont éphémères, et elles perdent la plupart de leurs caractéristiques si elles sont séchées ou conservées en solution. On s’attendrait donc à disposer d’une profusion d’ouvrages illustrés afin d’aider le botaniste et l’horticulteur. Mais ce n’est pas le cas, du moins jusqu’à l’apparition de la photographie et des manuels bariolés de coin de table. Celui qui a jamais tenté de dessiner un Ferocactus ou un Echinocereus bien armé en connaît la raison. Une main sûre comme un roc ainsi qu’une totale maîtrise des parallèles et de la perspective sont requises pour rendre la précision demandée par le botaniste. Dans les mains d’un novice, le résultat peut être juste de la rigidité et un exercice de géométrie, ou pire, imprécision et carence de détail significatif. Pendant la grande ère des florilèges, depuis l’époque de Ehret et Redouté jusqu’au mi- lieu du dix-neuvième siècle, les cactus n’attiraient pas les artistes botanistes.
