January 2021

Our January meeting featured a presentation titled "Streptocarpus, Sinningias and Algae" by Dale Martens, a renowned grower and hybridizer of Streptocarpus and other gesneriads. Dale (shown holding Streptocarpus "Dale's Smurf Party") provided us with great tips about growing, fertilizers, pest control and kindly answered questions after her presentation. We were very pleased to welcome members of La Société des Saintpaulias de Montréal, the Toronto African Violet and Gesneriad Society, the Greater Ottawa Water Garden Horticultural Society and some local plant lovers to the meeting.
