The IBSA is having a bulb and corm conference in August/September 2011 in South Africa. Here's part of the PDF flyer they have: "The Indigenous Bulb Society of South Africa (IBSA) will be holding its next Symposium showcasing South African bulbs and corms during August and September 2011. Established in 1961, IBSA will be celebrating its 50th birthday with this Symposium at the new and improved Goudini Spa from 28 August to 2 September 2011. The natural warm water spa at Goudini is near Worcester and close to the internationally renowned Cape vineyards. Delegates will book into the Spa on Sunday 28 August. During the first two days of the Symposium there will be lectures and discussions on a wide variety of topics relating to South African geophytes. The next three days will be dedicated to field trips to the surrounding areas to see some of the plants discussed in their natural splendour. Transport for the Symposium excursions will be provided." I'll be happy to send the full PDF with registration materials to anyone who wants it. Please send me (tiede@pacbell.net) your request for a copy. Please do not reply to the group.
