Whew What a month As is always

the case May was the busiest month

of the year for the San Diego

Epiphyllum Society and for good reason It is the

height of our blooming season when all of the

work wersquove done over the last year comes to

fruition with the fantastic reward of stunning

flowers

It was one event after another beginning the first

weekend in May when the Safari Park Sale the

Cuyamaca College Sale and the South Bay

Epiphyllum Society Show and Sale in Palos

Verdes were all scheduled The second weekend

in May was devoted of course to our very own

Motherrsquos Day Show and Sale in Balboa Park

followed the very next weekend by EpiCon

hosted by the Epiphyllum Society of America in

Altadena and the ESA Show and Sale the next

day in Arcadia at the LA Arboretum Finally on

the fourth Saturday in May came our annual

Garden Caravan where we traveled all over San

Diego County visiting the homes and gardens of

SDES members Janice Wakefield in El Cajon

Adele Wagner in La Mesa Chuck Everson and

Jerry Williamsrsquo Rainbow Gardens in Vista and

Matt Cheneyrsquos in Rainbow where we finished up

with a delicious feast Thanks to all of them for

hosting this fun event

And thanks to everyone who participated in all of

the events of May Without all of your collective

efforts we couldnrsquot put on activities like this in a

successful way Your work assures the SDES can

continue to grow and function for another fiscal

year Special thanks to our 2nd Vice President and

Show Chairperson Sandra Chapin for organizing

yet another successful Motherrsquos Day Show to

Beth Jackson for coordinating the Show judging

and to all those who judged to our 1st Vice

President and Program Coordinator Velma Crain

and Marj Myers for putting together the Motherrsquos

Day Potluck to our Recording Secretary and

Sales Events Coordinator Cindy Decker for

managing all of the sales events especially the

sale on Motherrsquos Day weekend to our Safari Park

Coordinator Jerry Moreau for his work at the

Park and to Mildred Mikas who made sure the

Caravan was a success once again this year

Again we had many out-of-town and out-of-the-

country visitors to our Motherrsquos Day Show

which pleases me to no end Thanks to all of you

folks for coming so far to see us

The blooming season was a little strange this year

due to the fact we really didnrsquot have a winter and

to the almost unbelievable heat wersquove already had

in May After some high anxiety about whether or

not we would have enough flowers to put on a

Show everyone came through with I suspect

every flower they had so we had plenty Thanks

for that

As your flowering season winds down remember

that the SDES is as much about its membership as

it is about the epies Thanks SO much to all of

you

--By Sandra Chapin Show Chair

Another great show is in the books thanks to

everyone who pitched in and helped wherever

needed The room was ablaze with flowers in

spite of the early blooming season this

year Everyone brought flowers to display or

to share and there was plenty A big thank

you to all who helped set up in 101 and in the

courtyard The set up on Sunday morn-

ing was very efficient and judging was started

and went so smoothly that the show opened

early Many thanks go to Beth Jackson and

her clerking staff and to all the judges for their

work Looking around the room we had hats

of all descriptions There were fancy tea hats

pith helmets Indian head dresses Mexican

sombreros cowboy hats newspaper hats

and more One of the highlights was the table

full of seedlings Another table had to be

added to stage them all We have lots of new

hybrids to look forward to when they are

registered It was really special to see the first

time exhibitors preparing their tables We had

six new exhibitors with great displays I cant

wait to see what they will do in the future It

was great fun to see members and guests from

Australia Sweden Chicago San Francisco

Denver and the LA area Marge Myers and

Velma pulled together a great lunch Again I

say Hats Off to us

From our Sales Chair Cindy

Decker

I want to extend my personal

thanks to all the people who

showed up ready to help for

the Mothers Day

Event They do what they

can to make the event an

extra special one for

SDES They load plants and

drive them down to the park they unload the

cars they assemble the BIG awning they take

down the BIG awning They stand on their

feet and give help and advice to all the people

and they work at the cash registers MY

SPECIAL THANKS TO CRAIG JACKSON

Who sees to it that the awning goes up

quickly and easily with the help of many

hands Without his leadership the building of

the shade for the plants on Sunday would not

be done so well Thanks again

Craig Without all these helpers SDES would

not have had the success it did Thanks to all

of you from me A special thanks to those of

you who donated cuttings of any quantity

small or large We would not have a sale

without cuttings and plants to sell

June 2014 SDES Epi News Page 4

In May we had our Annual Sale at the Safari

Park Although it was not as lucrative as last

year it raised a good amount that allows us to

maintain the epi collection here Overall the sale

was good we had lots of fun and we spread the

word about epis

I am always so impressed by the wonderful and

dedicated volunteers we have who come out and

make a difference at the Park SDES has much

to be proud of All the work we do at the Park

makes a tremendous difference and creates more

beauty in the world In June we will be hanging

more pipe in the workhouse to better organize

the plants We will also be designing a new

entrance into the display house Someone

discovered a grant opportunity through the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and

passed the information on to Cary Sharp (head

horticulturist at the Park) Hopefully with both

SDES and the Safari Park working together on

the application we will be awarded the grant

Then we can move ahead with the makeover of

the display

The next work parties will be June 14th amp 28th

Your help is always needed The more volun-

and the display There is much to do so

whether you can do a lot or a little everyone is

welcome and all work is appreciated If you

It was a cool clear day in San

Diego for our Photo Caravan

After the heat and fires of the last

few weeks it was perfect weather

to see how other members grow

and display their Epis Visiting othersrsquo gardens

give us ideas how to improve our shadelathe

houses where to hang the epis and to garner

more ideas on taking care of Epis

Our first stop of the early morning was at our

Treasurer Janice Wakefieldrsquos home Sur-

priseJanice has a huge back yard She is still

building her lathe house (which looks great) and

the epis have individual emitters going to each

plant There are many more epies to the right

side of the back yard where there is a large

overhang Looking straight to the back of her

yard Janice even has rows of corn 4 feet high

Many small succulents in 3rdquo pots set into two

layers of three-cornered pots Janice just put in a

new blacktop driveway and is also putting in a

large brick-like stone area from the house out to

the shed The remainder of her property goes

down a slope Now I understand why Janice is

always so busy

Our second garden was at Adele Wagnerrsquos

house Adele has a lovely yard with a pool in the

center and Epis all around under the covered

shade cloth patio She even has some on the side

of her home and behind the pool Adele and her

husband have many really large pots of epis and

other succulents in her yard all of which are very

healthy There were even some epi blooms for us

to photograph and to add to our wish list On the

back wall of her home she has nice little plaques

and lots of hanging baskets Adele has every

right to be proud of her garden of Epis

Our next two stops were Epi Nurseries Rainbow

Gardens (Jerry Williams) in Vista and Mattsrsquo

Landscape (Matt Cheney) in Rainbow where

we had a wonderful BBQ Many of our newer

members didnrsquot know about these Nurseries

Everyone bought at least one or two potted plants

or some cuttings at each nursery using our

ldquo$500 off couponsrdquo I even purchased three 4rsquorsquo

potted plants and three cuttings of epi hybrids

from my Wish List

Thank you to our hosts for allowing us to visit

their lovely Gardens and Nurseries this year

side of the back yard where there is a large

overhang Looking straight to the back of her

yard Janice even has rows of corn 4 feet high

Many small succulents in 3rdquo pots set into two

layers of three-cornered pots Janice just put in a

new blacktop driveway and is also putting in a

large brick-like stone area from the house out to

the shed The remainder of her property goes

down a slope Now I understand why Janice is

always so busy

Our second garden was at Adele Wagnerrsquos

house Adele has a lovely yard with a pool in the

center and Epis all around under the covered

shade cloth patio She even has some on the side

of her home and behind the pool Adele and her

husband have many really large pots of epis and

other succulents in her yard all of which are very

healthy There were even some epi blooms for us

to photograph and to add to our wish list On the

back wall of her home she has nice little plaques

and lots of hanging baskets Adele has every

right to be proud of her garden of Epis

Our next two stops were Epi Nurseries Rainbow

Gardens (Jerry Williams) in Vista and Mattsrsquo

Landscape (Matt Cheney) in Rainbow where

we had a wonderful BBQ Many of our newer

members didnrsquot know about these Nurseries

Everyone bought at least one or two potted plants

or some cuttings at each nursery using our

ldquo$500 off couponsrdquo I even purchased three 4rsquorsquo

potted plants and three cuttings of epi hybrids

from my Wish List

Thank you to our hosts for allowing us to visit

their lovely Gardens and Nurseries this year

from stemndash unless you want the fruit and the

seeds Use a sharp knife or pruning shears for

cutting

Prune plants to shape after flowering by taking

cuttings

Renew snailslug barrier and watch for pests

Take care in watering The plants should never

be allowed to dry out OR become soggy
