July 2009 Communique Newsletter Online


Monthly Meeting: Join us, Thursday, July 9 at 7:30 pm

Our speaker for July is Kelly Griffin. His talk is on the many succulent plants, with emphasis on Agaves, that are found in the vicinity of Oaxaca Mexico. It is a wonderful examination of the special plants that grow in this region along with many that we have in our collections.

For those who do not know Kelly, he is a specialized grower of Aloes and Agaves. He has made a number of beautiful hybrids of both genera and always brings a number of them to sell. Kelly works at Rancho Soledad Nursery and a trip there to buy plants is always worth while...
