On behalf of the Clivia Society and the Northern Clivia Club, we would like to invite you to experience the world of the Clivia and meet with other Clivia enthusiasts in September 2006 at the 4 th International Clivia Conference. This will be the highlight of our botanical calendar and a showcase for developments in our knowledge of the genus Clivia and the strides that we have made in its ennoblement and popularisation. A magnificent show will accompany and complement the conference, which will be addressed by speakers from all over the Clivia world.
Three major themes have been identified for this conference:
• Which way for Clivia - future perspectives: what do we need to do?
• Recording Clivia : the why, the what & the how.
• Natures gift: diversity, habitat & evolution
In addition to invited keynote speakers, prospective speakers are invited to submit a brief summary of their proposed presentation so that the preliminary program can be drawn up. Abstracts will be invited and the preliminary deadline for their submission will be December 2005, with notification of acceptance by 28 February 2006. The full paper to be published in the conference proceedings must be received by 30 May 2006. Only papers received by this date will be included in the conference proceedings.
Show
In conjunction with the conference, the National Clivia Show will be held as a showcase of the Clivia Growers art where the very best of Clivia will be on display. In addition to the many plants on show, a wide variety of plants will be offered for sale by top growers. Start now to prepare your plants!
An auction is planned as one of the highlights of Clivia 2006 where a selection of the best Clivias available will be up for grabs. Closer to the time, all the accepted plants will be illustrated on the website as the catalogue is finalised.
A number of pre- and post-conference tours have been planned to take the Clivia enthusiast around all the Clivia habitats in South Africa as well as visits to as many regional shows as possible in the areas. For many time is limited so we have tried to compress activities into the minimum period. The conference is timed for the normal flowering period of C. miniata, which starts in the north, followed by the east and then the south coast (from west to east). This has determined the timing of the regional shows so we have planned the habitat tours in between them. The show and tour program covers most of South Africa 's scenic and botanic areas and is planned to be unforgettable.
