Thanks as always for the wonderful reference material. I couldn’t help smiling about the San Francisco flower & Garden show being held in Sacramento.

@Kris, venue has always been an issue with that show!
@Clare, thanks for the info! It’s been included.
Bromeliad show/sale at Sherman Gardens on the 30th, I think. Sorry I missed Dustin. Did not see this post in time.
Happy Spring, Denise!
