August Meeting
Jim Hamilton of Petite Plaisance gave
a talk on "Easy to Grow Species" along with a great slide show
of unusual (to me at least) plants. Had it been me talking on the
plants that I find easy to grow, the talk and slide show
would have been only several minutes! Have a look at the Petit Plaisance web
site, as expected the plant table was wonderful.

Encyclia tripunctata from the plant table
|
Ulrike and I were
lucky enough to win the Encyclia from the raffle table with the ticket
we got for bringing plants for the display table. So it can be
well worth bringing display plants and refreshments! (We did buy some
tickets as well but without luck this month.)
A great display table as usual, below are this months
winners, but click here for some of other plants I captured.
