NEXT MEETING: FEBRUARY 5

Title: "Pinguicula and Utricularia in the Cloud Forests of
Ecuador"
Speaker: Geoff Wong
Date: February 5, 2005
Time: Noon-4PM
Location: UC Botanical Garden, Berkeley

Ecuador! Nowhere else do such lofty mountain ranges cross
the equator.

Join us on an adventure through the Andean cloud forests,
illustrated by slides of dramatic scenery and exotic plants
including orchids, aroids, bromeliads, and, of course, CP. The
biodiversity in this small country is remarkable. We will
also get a glimpse of Ecuadorian life ranging from the capital
city to remote settlements accessible only by dirt road.

BRING A FRIEND!

by Stephen Davis

Bring a friend with you to the next meeting! Why?

1. It's a great place to see some new and interesting
plants.
2. It's fun to share your hobby.
3. Let your friend know that you are not the only
crackpot in the Bay Area.
4. They might meet someone THEY like.
5. The Berkeley Botanical garden is beautiful, and it
would be fun to look around before or after the
meeting with someone you like.
6. Save money, make them buy the gas.
