May Highlights!

It was supposed to be a typical Tuesday.... but it was a dark and stormy night! The clouds were ominous, what would the evening bring?


Well, now that you ask, people brought a bunch of interesting things...... Clay brought some of the seedling crosses from a strep whose parent features a scent.










This is like it's parent, same flowers but a much larger habit and a stronger scent. This poor plant had it's largest leaves broken so it doesn't appear gigantic, but it gets generously sized!
 The evening brought us more....This is another pretty seedling from Clay's crosses.
 We had species Episcias  for show and tell and ...
 exotic looking "things" from the collections and ...
baby Sinningias! Babies both large and much, much smaller.


Her are baby Sinningias just getting their start in life.

Now don't you wish you were at the meetings more often?









A monster-sized fanciful orchid covered in blooms covered it's friend.
An then after some snacks.... what else did the evening bring? The night gave us pollination by lions and tigers and bears.... No, strike those...... bugs and bats and birds, OH MY.  Here's a little humming bird.
