Coffs Harbour - Meeting & talk: Apocynad vines

Doug Binns is an APS member and plant ecologist and has been working in various parts of NSW for over 40 years. His talk is not to be missed

Apocynad vines are vines which belong to the family Apocynaceae. Although relatively few native species could be called showy, some species have attractive flowers and the flowers of all species are interesting, especially when examined in close-up. Some species are uncommon and a few are listed as threatened. Very few native species are in cultivation. For most native species, knowledge of their ecology and cultivation requirements is very poor.

Doug hopes to raise awareness so that at least some of those attending are inspired to make and share observations to improve knowledge about the cultivation of these vines.

Please bring a plate and plant samples to boast about or seek assistance with. Members are also encouraged to speak about their experiences.

All welcome.
