Dear All, I just got an email from my friend Andrew Wilson telling me that Michael Vassar died yesterday. I heard Michael talk about South African Pelargonium and Oxalis twice and each time I was impressed with his enthusiasm and love of these two groups. I learned so much from what he said. Thanks to his sharing many of the Oxalis he collected a number of us have been lucky enough to add them to our bulb collections. He provided a very wonderful introduction to Pelargonium for me when I was in charge of the Topic of the Week on the old IBS List. He will be missed. Mary Sue
