Hi all! At the Clivia Symposium last week, a few of us decided we wanted to start an informal clivia group in the Midwest. We're calling it the Midwest Clivia Club. No dues, no officers, no newsletters, just occasional informal get-togethers. The first is coming up! I know a few PBSers live within 500 miles of Indiana, so if you do, you're welcome to come! We want to get together as soon as possible, before the clivia flowers fade. So we want to meet here at my place in Westfield, Indiana, on Saturday, April 16th. We will start in the morning, have a cold buffet lunch here, and continue through the afternoon. If you have plants in flower, please bring a few to display. Bring 35-mm color slides, powerpoint programs, anything you have on Clivia to share. Hope to see you here on the 16th. If you want to come in on Friday evening or stay over Saturday night, there are several motels/hotels in this general area (1 to 5 miles away). We can offer suggestions if needed. Please RSVP so we can plan the food! Regards, Jim Shields ************************************************* Jim Shields USDA Zone 5 Shields Gardens, Ltd. P.O.
