Re: ELK 2017 & International Euphorbia society

Post by Tina »

I think most people just meet at the bar :chat: & then stagger back to their rooms later.

Also at ELK, you can attend the 13th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the I. E. S.( International Euphorbia society) The meeting will take place on Saturday September 9th, 2017 at 2 p. m.
Its in a room by the side of the cafeteria ( I believe),
Also note the lecture by Bob Potter on Saturday September 9th at 10:30 a. m. local time, entitled A Euphorbia Odyssey.

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.
