Show & Tell

Have an interesting plant that's blooming? ... or doing something odd? ... or you just don't know what's going on with it?

Bring it in and show the members your plants. Someone should have an answer to your questions. If you just want some bragging rights to an excellently cultivated specimen, by all means bring it in for Show and Tell.
