I am delighted to confirm Gregg's assertion that the Cactus and Succulent crowd are also interested in winter growing bulbs. The presentation by Tom Glavich covered an impressive breadth of winter growing species both succulent and bulbous, sometimes both. The slide show macro photographs projected even the most tiny blooms to floor-to- ceiling height to be viewed by the crowd of over 50 in attendance. The majority of species displayed were of South African origin, along with some other Mediterranean areas including our own California species of Triteleia and Calochortus. I noticed many of the bulbous plants presented displayed leaves of as much or more visual interest as the flowers; this may be part of the crossover between an interest in succulents and bulbs. He described his growing conditions, including cold frames and a mostly-pumice potting medium and his southern California climate. The audience asked questions particular to winter- growth and summer dormancy. I wish I had brought a notebook and pen! Tom brought a tray of seedlings to tempt those of us with the acquisitive disorder Gregg mentioned. The society members filled several tables with offerings for their raffle, including several Massonia and curly-leafed Albuca. PBS was mentioned as a source of bulbs and seed so possibly we may see some new members. Thank you Jim and Gregg for posting the event and thank you to Tom for the beautiful and interesting presentation. - Gastil Santa Barbara, California
