Fellow member Dr. Mark Schlesinger will give a digital slide presentation on the many succulents in his collection. This pictorial journey through the world of succulents will show photos, taken in the last five years, of all kinds of wonderful shapes, forms, and flowers. Mark will discuss the various habitats and adaptations succulents must endure, and their cultivation. Come and share Mark's vast experience with all sorts of succulents, as there will be something for everyone during this presentation.
