Hi all
We screened a showing of Mary Sue Ittner's CD at the monthly meeting of the
Indigenous Bulb Society of SA in Cape Town yesterday. The CD is a
brilliantly put together collection of pictures of California Wild Flowers
taken on an extensive trip that she, Bob, Mary Hunter and Elaine Mahaffey
undertook in Spring 2005. We had an excellent attendance of more than 50
members and the presentation was received with great applause. We were
very grateful for the opportunity to expand our horizons like this.
Mary Sue is a member of IBSA and it was most appropriate for us to enjoy
this participation at our meeting by one of our overseas members. The
global village is getting smaller and the opportunities for communication
between persons with similar interests are increasing.
IBSA will be holding a second International Bulb Symposium at Goudini Spa,
Rawsonville from 26 August to 1 September. This will consist of
presentations by numerous speakers and bulb experts as well as field trips
to view wild bulbs. We are also planning a self-drive trip to the
Roggeveld and the Northern Cape (depending on the rains coming at the right
times) after the symposium that will be an exciting option. We already
have numerous international delegates who will be attending. If
interested, contact IBSA Secretary Chris Schultz for details
