How would you like your name to live forever - as a Bromeliad?

As part of its 2016 Bromeliad Show and Sale, a newly created Bromeliad (shown below) will be given a name by one very lucky Show and Sale attendee. Everyone attending will be given a chance to win this prize.

The Society's past President, Ray Lemieux, says, "You can name the plant after a loved one, or yourself, it's entirely up to you. Because I created a new cultivar by cross-breeding, I have the right to name it after anyone I choose. It's a hardy cross, so I suspect it will produce many offsets and who knows, it might live on forever."

The 2016 Annual Show and Sale will be held on the weekend of September 9-11, at the Sarasota Garden Club, 1131 Blvd. of the Arts, Sarasota. This year's theme is "Bewitching Bromeliads".

The Sale hours will be from 10 AM to 5 PM on Friday, September 9. The Show will be open and the Sale will continue from 10 AM to 5 PM on Saturday September 10. On Sunday September 11, the hours will be from 1 PM to 4 PM. Admission is free.
