Hello to all the Clivia enthusiasts out there: Good News and Bad News: The Good news is that we will be holding the next Huntington Symposium at the world famous Huntington Botanic Gardens on the last weekend in March 2005. Bad news is that this falls on an Easter weekend. Sorry but the weekend prior is already taken by the Bonsai society and their show. Doing it earlier or later than those two weekends means missing the peak of the flowering season. The meeting will be sponsored by The Huntington, the North American Clivia Society and possibly one of the local Bulb Societies. We would like to hold a judged Clivia show and I invite judges from other regions of the world to come and judge here. At this time we are trying to guesstimate the number of attendees. 1. If you would like to present a paper or poster also let me know together with the title of your presentation. 2. If you plan on attending please also let me know and estimate the number in your party. 3. If you are prepared to judge the show let me know too. 4. If you want to reserve space to sell seeds or plants I need to know that also. email the above information back to me at the following address paph@pcmagic.net cheers Harold
