Much ado… about Blooming!
Presented by William D. Peachey
-
In case Dick Wiedhopf has not mentioned it...the CSSA Convention is coming up a little more than a year from now in late May of 2027. And, during the Convention many of the local TCSS members in attendance are, undoubtedly, going to be asked questions about"saguaros" in general. Moreover, since the Convention has been scheduled to take place during "mid-season of the saguaro bloom", TCSS members are going to be getting MANY questions about "saguaro blooming".
In light of that and the fact that this year’s May TCSS Meeting is being held in mid-saguaro bloom season, Bill is going to take the opportunity to refresh, engage. and expand the TCSS memberships basic information about our "State Flower". In preparation for the anticipated Convention onslaught... the talk is just/only (solamente) about the "bloom".
During the "drilling down" about the saguaro flower, some time will be spent along the way dispelling some saguaro flower(ing) "myths" while some new "factoids" and even a couple of "rank-suppositions" about them will be shared in order to "spice up" the journey.
