22.01.2022 A few closeups of the plants on our display table at Society meeting last night. Such a lovely display provided by our members.

22.01.2022 What a wonderful turnout for our first meeting for 2021 with close on 40 members joining together. Joyce, as usual, provided us with a demonstration on taking cuttings of our Zonals. Next month she will be looking more at the Regal Pelargoniums. Lorraine provided us with some history of Pelargoniums which everyone found to be extremely interesting. Gave us some insight into why our plants are named the way they are and why we should always be careful to name them correctly. I did record both speakers - this time just as a movie which I wish to edit before loading onto YouTube. Once this is done I will advise where you may view them. Lorraine’s presentation will also be in our next edition of the Journal.

21.01.2022 Planning is underway for the 2021 Festival of Flowers to be held in Adelaide over the Anzac Weekend. Keeping our fingers crossed that this event will go ahead next year. More information will be provided as it comes to hand.

19.01.2022 It was lovely to see so many members come along to the AGM last night. This was followed with a General Meeting where Joyce enlightened us all on pruning Regals. Joyce gave a couple of members the opportunity to prune a pellie each as she gave guidance. Watch for the link to YouTube later in the week. Derrick Kendrick also gave a very interesting 5 minutes talk about his experiment with P. Fulgidum. This will be reproduced in the June journal. A few members brought along some of their Pelargoniums for the display table. Photos below. Enjoy.
