I would suggest that it is closed to prevent members who might subvert the
purpose of the group: to discuss Species Hippeastrum. I believe that the
group is open to view, but I am no expert on Face Book forums and how they
work.

Dear Peter,

I went to the page you linked : Planet Botanical Hippeastrum

and was pleased to see the emphasis on
openness and sharing, but why on Earth is this a 'Closed Group"?

Closed seems so unwilling to share and secretive.
Odd, that's all. Jim W.
