"Preparation for June's Show and Sale" -- the presentation at our May meeting was enjoyable.
It’s been three years in case you don’t remember, three years we can forget. But now we’re back, all ready to show our best stuff and to look out for the opportunities. To prepare us for the big event in June we’re going to focus in May on the exhibition of plants.
We celebrated the club's 57th anniversary with a delectable pineapple cake, and our charter member, Nona Church, paid us a special visit with her daughters.

“Exhibitions and Shows of the Past” The annual event has gone on, year after year for many years, but people, plants and the layout has evolved. It was an interactive program, both in person and on Zoom. Dan explained to us how to prepare our plants for the show, with special attention to newcomers. Juliana described this year’s layout for those plants being exhibited as well as how the sales area will be configured. |

May Plants
We had some phenomenal plants on auction. An established specimen of Vriesea "Galaxy' went up for auction, as well as some fine hybrids from our compadre, David Fell, who lives in Hilo. A few desirable Neoregelia hybrids from Hawaii were put on a silent auction. This new format s3emed to be a hit. For the raffle table, our focus was on Neoregelia hybrids. Scott picked a bunch of shiny, colorful plants that will easily root by summer. |
