June 21 2008 meeting

It's summer and the growing is easy... there are wonderful begonias at the garden centers. Some varieties are new this year and I have found quite a few sun loving begonias! The RI Branch Begonia Society will be meeting this Saturday, June 21, at 12:30 at the education center at the botanical gardens in Roger Williams Park, Providence. We will be hearing from Bonnie Lambert, co-president of the Buxton Branch of the ABS about the September show at Tower Hill B.G. She will be showing us some fine examples of different categories of begonias, so if you have a mystery begonia bring it along and she can help you identify it. We will have a display table, so bring your prettiest plants for everyone to ooh and ahhh over. Silent auction items are also welcome and can be (gasp!) non-begonias! Come talk plants, find some new plants to add to your collections, and Priscilla will be bringing the simplest answer ever to mildew. See you Saturday!
