President’s Corner If you build up the soil with organic material, the

plants will do just fine. John Harrison

As we enter into the last half of the year, Mother

Nature has turned up the thermostat and we are in a

spell of very warm weather. Make sure that your

epies don’t become too dry. The bloom season hasn’t

quite finished as yet, so maybe another week or two

before it’s time to fertilize to prepare the plants for

next year.

It’s getting close to the time for creating the

nominating committee to fill the slate of officers for

2017. Be thinking of the positions that you would

like to fill and become a member of the Board. Your

participation will be greatly

appreciated.

See you at the July meeting.

Happy 4th of July!

Meeting Programs — Patricia Frank

Pre-Meeting Workshop: In June Ron discussed “Epies in Their Native Environment”. Join him in July

for more insight into the care and culture of epies.

June Program: In June there was a lively panel discussion led by SDES epi experts Sandra Chapin, Ron

Crain, and Jerry Moreau. The raffle table was filled with many

plants and cuttings.

July Program: This month we'll be treated to the artistic

ingenuity of Carol Wells, whose lovely drought-resistant garden

was a stop this Spring on the garden tour sponsored by the Water

Conservation Garden. Carol's presentation will highlight how she

removed the grass in her front and back yards and installed

drought tolerant landscape. Carol is also known throughout San

Diego for her ingenious light-weight planters, crafted from recy-

cled materials. She'll demonstrate just how she designs and con-

structs these wonderful planters. Please come out and join us for

an enjoyable evening on Wednesday, July 13th in Casa Del Prado

Room 101 at 7:30 p.m.

The flowers are still blooming! The flowers were blooming steady throughout June. We continued to keep the

display house looking good by dead-heading the past flowers, weeding, raking, repotting, checking blooms for

correctness, and making cuttings to sell to the Plant Trader at the Safari Park. There were many guests visiting the

epi house. We had a chance to show them the epi house and educated them about epies. The difference between

hybrids and species, and the hybrid names. Our guests reminisced about plants their mothers and grandmothers

used to grow called “Queen of the Night”, which is one common name for Epiphyllum oxypetalum.

Helping out these past work parties were Barb Alvarez, Sandra Chapin, Humberto & Gina Contreras, Ron &

Velma Crain, Marie Dempewolf, Bill Greene, Bob Holzinger, Jerry Moreau, Tim Paule, Paul Vandepbloeg, and

Janice Wakefield. Your effort is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The next work parties will be July 16th & 30th.

On Saturday, May 28th, the South Bay Epiphyllum Society hosted

EpiCon XV at the South Coast Botanic Garden in Rancho Palos Verdes.

The event began with refreshments and proceeded to reports from the

various Epi Societies on their current status; Tony Yanko from the SBES

spoke about his group and introduced Robert Kuettle of the Epiphyllum

Society of America, and our own president of the San Diego Epiphyllum

Society, Janice Wakefield. Dr. Rudi Dorsch reported on and presented a

slideshow of the 2016 Annual Meeting of the German Epiphytic Cactus

Society – EPIG.

Edgar Valdivia of California Rare Fruit Growers was then introduced

and presented an interesting slideshow on Dragon Fruit/Pitahaya, entitled

“Future Fruit for California”. After Edgar’s presentation, lunch was

served.

Laurel Woodley then did an informative presentation, “Discovering the

South Coast Botanic Garden”, showing the history of the garden from its

beginnings as a mining operation for diatomaceous earth, to a city landfill, to

its very inception as a garden and up to the present day.

ESA president Robert Kuettle then presented a slideshow on recently

registered Epiphyllum hybrids. This was followed by a Silent Auction where

participants entered competing bids for a huge variety of beautiful cuttings

and plants.

Finally, a panel of hybridizers, Derek Obayashi, Evelyn Shiraki and Don

Burnett showed slides and shared interesting insights about their respective

epi breeding projects.

A large contingent of SDES members were in attendance which included a

group who came north on the bus organized by Mildred Mikas. Thanks

Mildred! And, thanks to Dick Kohlschreiber, Tony Yanko, Don Burnett and

everyone in the SBES for organizing another successful EpiCon.

Two Successful Events for SDES — Ron Crain

On Saturday, May 28th, the San Diego Epiphyllum Society staffed a booth at the Garden Party event in Bal-

boa Park. This event was organized by the Friends of Balboa Park and expenses for the space were covered

by the San Diego Botanical Garden Foundation. Thanks to

both of those organizations for sponsoring another successful

event in the Park.

Events Coordinator, Cindy Decker and her minions (Chuck

Largin, Rachel Lininger, Adele Wagner, and Patricia Frank)

greeted many visitors to their booth and had brisk sales of

cuttings, rooted cuttings, and larger plants.

On Saturday, June 4th, the SDES attended the Master Gar-

dener’s Conference & Marketplace event at the County Ad-

ministration Center in Kearny Mesa, again staffing a booth.

Janice Wakefield and Ron & Velma Crain had good traffic

and sales in an event that was well-attended by very knowl-

edgeable plant enthusiasts. This is the second year we have

participated in a successful Master Gardener’s-organized

event. Many thanks to the Master Gardener group for invit-

ing us to attend.

We announce with a heavy heart that long time SDES member Bob

Buchs passed on June 9, 2016. He passed at home, surrounded by

his loved ones. He was an amazing, funny, stubborn, generous,

handsome, kind, and adventurous man. Bob served as the Society’s

treasurer and director; helped out at sale events; did volunteer work

with the epies at the Safari Park; judged at Mother’s Day Shows and

served as a wonderful and entertaining emcee at several SDES

installation and holiday banquets. Bob was a caring man

and would bring Jean Costanzo to the meetings when she

was unable to drive herself. He ran the raffle table with a

sense of fun and excitement. Bob, when volunteering out

at the Park, would bring his CD player and play classical

music for the epis. In 2012 Bob was awarded the Roger

Chapin Memorial Award as volunteer of the year in 2012.

Bob loved his epis and hated to part from them when he

moved out of the area. Bob will be greatly missed.

Help Wanted To Grow

Cuttings!

— Cindy Decker

SDES is looking for a few members to help grow

cuttings for next years' Mother's Day sale. If you

have a small spot in your garden to put one or two

flats of 4" pots please contact Cindy Decker. They

will be all potted and ready for your "tender loving

care". They can be delivered or can be arrange to

bring them to the next general meeting.

September 2016 General Meeting to be Held in Room 104 — Ron Crain

Ikebana International, one of the forty plus groups that shares the Casa del Prado with SDES, contacted me

two weeks ago with a problem. They had been asked to host an international meeting on very short notice to

be held on September 14th, the same day as SDES’s September General Meeting. They are expecting as

many as 100 attendees, so they need a large space. They asked me if we would be willing to give up Casa

del Prado, Room 101 on that date so they can use it. After checking with the rest of the SDES Board and in

the spirit of cooperation, we decided to accommodate this request. So, we will be gathering in the smaller

Room 104 for our September meeting. I will therefore, not be conducting a Pre-Meeting Workshop in

September.

‘It’s Magic’

A WATTS hybrid named by Galen Pittman




The week before the flower show had been

unseasonably warm in central California, so naturally

the air conditioner in our car broke down a few days

before the show. As the show opened at 9 am, I

originally intended to get up early and make the drive to

San Francisco. However I did not want to drive up

without working air con. That was not an option, as we

would be returning home in the hottest part of the day.*1

So after we picked up our car (with newly repaired air

con), we arrived at the show around 12.15 pm.

Happily, it was foggy and cool at Golden Gate Park.

If you have never visited

Golden Gate Park,*2 it is a

large city park somewhat

similar to San Diego's Balboa

Park. The San Francisco

Botanical Garden*3 is located

in the park near the

intersection of 9th Avenue

and Lincoln Way, and is

easily accessible by public

transportation. SFES has

their meetings here, in the

Recreation Room at the

County Fair Building, and

this is also the show venue.

Although this is a smaller

show than the other

California societies' shows,

there were some very nice

blooms on exhibit. Georgia

Piotter won President's

Award and Best of Yellows

with her flower of 'French

Gold'. In the Seedlings

division, Mike Davis'

seedling 'Starlight' ×

'Harald Knebel' won a

First. Georgia Piotter's

flower of 'A Treasure' was

a notable red, and I was

very happy to notice a

bloom of 'Kirsten Pfeiffer' on display in the Reds

division.

There were the usual plants and cuttings for sale. The

SFES club was selling cuttings -- there was an excellent

assortment to choose from. Many of these cuttings

were donated by

the San Diego

and South Bay

societies. In

addition, Don

Cravalho*4 had a

nice selection of

plants available

for purchase.

The show was fun -- it's always great to see

old friends and to make new ones. If you are

up in the San Francisco Bay Area, SFES

meetings are held the first Thursday of most

months. *5

Hope to see you there.

Notes:

1. Yes, we do have two other cars. One of the cars is electric

and doesn't have the range to make it to San Francisco and

back from our current location. Also it has no air con at all.

The other car is gas powered but the engine is air cooled and

the air con is vestigial at best. 2. Fun facts! Golden Gate Park is built on sand dunes and

comprises 1,017 acres. There are 10 lakes in the park. The

California Academy of Sciences and the De Young Museum

are located inside the park. 3. This includes Strybing Arboretum. There are other gardens

inside the park as well, such as the Japanese Garden. 4. Don sells epi hybrids and species cactus via Epiphyllum

World, at epiphyllumworld.com 5. You can check the schedule at the SFES site at sfepi.org

Get Your Facts First —Linda Sinkovic

“Get your facts first, then you can distort them as much as you

please…” ~ Mark Twain

Now that the first part of my move to the San Francisco

Bay Area is complete, it's time to talk about what

worked and what didn't with this plant moving process.

The ideas behind this process are based upon our

experience 12 years ago.*1 One of the big problems I

had with the previous move was the loss of plastic plant

tags from pots, which produced a lot of unknowns. This

time, using paper tags as well as the plastic tags was a

good idea and kept many plants from becoming

unknowns. In fact, all of the plants marked with paper

tags kept their identities intact.

Notice that sentence contains the phrase "marked with

paper tags". Unfortunately I ran out of time to mark all

the plants properly.*2 Thus there were a few trays of

plants that were not marked with paper tags and shoved

onto the racks at the last moment. Some of these pots

also lost plastic tags, and those all ended up as

unknowns. Also there were some branches broken off

and those too are now unknowns.

A lot of these broken branches and lost tags were caused

by a collapse of one of the racks. This collapse was the

result what my husband refers to as "executing a Mario

Kart maneuver in order to avoid a collision", while

driving through Los Angeles. Despite the collapse, the

majority of plants on that rack survived with only some

broken branches. Because of the ease of moving plants

around, I'm still a big fan of the garment rack method.*3

So am I satisfied with this move process? Yes, for the

most part. One big mistake I made was underestimating

the time to list*4 and properly tag*5 all the plants I

moved. I think the final count of unknowns would have

been a lot less if I had managed to do that. As it is, I'm

still going through the plants that were not properly

tagged and putting them on the list. It's the only way to

know which plants are in my collection.

Speaking of collections: if your collection contains

unidentified plants, particularly species plants, there's a

book that might be of interest to you.*6 It's called Plant

Identification Terminology: An Illustrated Glossary and

it is very useful if you are trying to use a plant key to

identify a plant.*7 There are drawings indicating what

parts of the plant are called and definitions of various

words and compounds such as 'acrotonic'.*8 This is a

pretty useful book and if you are interested in identifying

plants it's worth a look.

Enjoy off season and species flowers this month!

Notes:

1. We moved from Santa Cruz (greater SF Bay Area) to San Diego.

2. That is, mark them with paper tags.

3. I can't think of how to avoid interesting traffic maneuvers in Los Angeles,

unless you drive through at 3 am or so. And even at that time there are

probably drivers on the road who are in a position to make such maneuvers

possible.. it's a big city with a lot of people.

4. I also created a list of plants which were going along. I don't think I

mentioned this list in the previous article. This was a backup in case a tag

became illegible.

5. Again with the paper tags.

6. You could use it with hybrid epicactus, to determine the shape of stem or

whether a flower is zygomorphic and things like that.

7. By the way this book covers all types of plants, not just cacti. It's

brilliant for those of us who did not study Botany.

8. Which means 'branching at the end of a stem' as opposed to branching in

the middle.

Mist plants. With the hot summer weather ,

occasional misting or spraying is beneficial. Do not

allow soil to completely dry out. Smaller pots need

watering more often than large ones. Clay pots will

also need watering more often than plastic ones. Best

time to water is early morning or evening; do not water

during the hottest part of the day.

Fertilize plants that have completed their

blooming cycle with slow release nitrogen fer tilizer

such as 5-10-10. Do not overfeed. Too much fertilizer

can burn the roots.

Remove spent blooms and unwanted apples.

Cut off about ¼ inch above areola to prevent damage to

areola.

Transplant to larger containers the plants that

are outgrowing their pots. For instance, transplant

4 inch pots into one gallon containers and the one

gallon pots into two gallon. Mature plants that have

been in large containers for a couple years can benefit

from "potting on," when the plant is removed from the

container and fresh potting mix and plant are put back

into the same container. Do not water for a week after

repotting.

Plant new cuttings, if they are ready.

Protect epies from summer sun with shade cloth,

lath houses or under the dappled shade of trees.

Ensure air circulation around epies by not

crowding them too closely together. However, strong,

dry Santa Ana winds can be harmful and plants will

need wind protection, as well as more humidity.

If you want to try grafting, now is a good time.

Use established but viable newer cuttings and be sure

the cambium layers are matched for optimum growth.

Also make sure your cactus pad is well rooted.

Plants that have grown long branches should be

in hanging baskets or trellised. The branches will

be healthier if they're not laying on the ground or a

shelf.
