You are invited to come visit Houston June 13 – 19 for the Bromeliad Society International World Bromeliad Conference.  Early summer in Texas is great – the best time to visit when it’s not too hot and it’s before hurricane season.  Bromeliads love it and show it.  The conference will take place in the Westin Galleria Hotel overlooking uptown Houston adjacent to Galleria Shopping Center.  Room rates are $139 per night with free parking.  Houston is the home of Carole Richtmyer, world renowned Cryptanthus hybridizer.  And there will be barbecue.  Online registration has been extended: http://www.bsi.org/bsi_info/wbc/ Photo from www.birdrocktropicals.com.
