Subject: Native Wildflower Seed Production Research Symposium - July 2007

  Native Wildflower Seed Production Research Symposium:
To be held July 19-20 (Thu.-Fri.), 2007 (full 2-day symposium) at Leu
Gardens in Orlando, FL.

It primarily will be a research symposium (national/intern.) dealing
with production of regionally adapted species (ecotypes; pre-variety
germplasm).  The main audience will be researchers working in this
field; growers will be invited as well.

Tentatively, topics to be addressed will be genetics, production
practices/issues (cropping system [many growers in Florida use landscape
fabric] irrigation, fertilization, weed mgmt., pollination), harvesting,
conditioning, storage, and wild-collected seed. Funding has been
procured to help speakers defray their travel costs.  Registration cost
will be ~$125-150 and will include two lunches, refreshments, and bus
transportation to/from Leu Gardens. (Hotel has not yet been finalized.)

Thank you.
