We are a small group of BROMELIAD lovers!!!
We meet every few
months at the Chicago
Botanic Garden! We meet the second Sunday of that
month from 2 PM to 4 PM, where we share our triumphs and failures on
raising plants that are indigenous to a tropical climate. Come join
us and learn about these fascinating plants whose color, brilliance and
longevity make them an ideal plant for decorating your home or office.
Sorry for any
confusion, but we do not currently meet every month. If meeting attendance picks up, we may
increase the number of times we meet.
COME ONE, COME ALL
TO THE ANNUAL BROMELIAD
SHOW AND SALE
July 30 & 31, 2011
9:30 AM - 4:30 PM
**************************************
We are meeting this month, August 14, 2011
in the Annex 2 trailer. We will be
having a guest speaker, Paul Wingert, who will
present some of his favorite varieties, and reflect on his 35 years experience
of growing and hybridizing bromeliads in Michigan.
Paul was
recently named to the Bromeliad Society International board of directors as
the representative for the Central States region. He was also the
Sweepstakes Award winner at the BSI World Conference, which was hosted in Chicago in 2004
There
will be plenty of plants available for sale, including many of Paul's newer
hybrids.
