| Has anyone read the latest journal from the cordyline society. It appears they are intending to change their subject of interest no longer cordylines but all sorts of plants. Hope the bromeliad or palm & cycad societies don't decide to become all round tropical plant societies too.
The International Tropical Foliage & Garden Society must have started a trend. |

| To my knowledge the International Cordyline Society Inc has published editorials on Tropical Foliage and Tropical Plants in addition to Cordylines in Ti-Talk and The Cordyline Connection for many years. In fact combined events such as the Tropical Foliage Festival (third year) and the Tropical Affair (second year) are both initiatives of The International Cordyline Society Inc. The Tropical Foliage Festival is a joint venture, with The International Cordyline Society, The Brisbane Bromeliad Society Inc, and the Brisbane Palm and Cycad Society Inc. It is therefore inappropriate to use this forum to suggest that some Garden Society in its first couple of month must have started a trend?.................. |

| The Cordyline society's newsletters, up until this year when the new executive took over, were devoted to cordylines. With only the very occasional mention of others plants. At least that is so in all the back copies I have which is from the formation. It is a shame to see a specialist club change their focus for whatever reason. Let's hope other specialist society's don't go the same way. Hope everyone had a lovely christmas and new year. |

| Tamoure I am afraid you have started a trend. Just recieved a letter stating that the Sydney branch of PASCOA (Palm And Cycad Society Of Australia) will no longer be associated with PASCOA and are now to be known as the Tropical Garden Society of Sydney I think this is a good thing as PASCOA have become moribund of late with falling memberships and a reduction of services. So hopefully this will move the Sydney branch forward. It is enough to make me rejoin. |

| grcrabman It is great to hear of yet another tropical garden society. But a shame to hear that PACSOA (Sydney) is winding up. I have always believed specialist societies play a huge and important part in the scheme of things. They can and should teach us so much about our favourite plants. This type of information is just not available in glossy magazines or even some books, (I stress some not all). Many of which focus just on pretty coloured pictures and tell us little. The aims of The International Tropical Foliage & Garden Society is to pass on information (from people both professional and amateur) about a wide range or tropical plants. |

| PACSOA (Sydney) has evolved to Sydney Tropical Garden Society, and its magazine is now "Tropica". It will continue to have information on Palms and Cycads, but with other tropical- looking plants as well. Coming up next Calatheas. Contributions welcome. Also a web page under construction: http://au.geocities.com/sydneytropical/index.htm |
