March 2022 Meeting
We had a good turn-out!

​In March
,we remained in San Diego with our speakers Morlane, Scott and Eloise.. Each gave three short talks about the genera Neoregelia, Billbergia and Fosterella.

Morlane O’Donnell grows a wide collection of bromeliads and described how she selects and grows Billbergias. Scott Sandel, an avid enthusiast for Neoregelia, showed us different modern hybrids. Eloise Lau, with a wide interest in bromeliads, showed us Fosterellas and how they can be planted among other bromeliads to complement them.

Plant Table
Scott reports on the March plant table​

​For the March plant table and auction, we had a wide selection of plants. There was a selection of Aechmeas, and a few nice Cryptanthus, too. These plants were offsets from Michael’s, and should grow well for us.
