In December, we welcomed Karl Bauer from West Coast Nurseries in Oxnard, who talked about the background, history and care for Poinsettias.

Bauer, a third generation owner of the family-owned West Coast Nurseries in Oxnard. Karl spoke on the history and background of Poinsettias and how they became the iconic holiday flower. He also talked about his hybridizing program, as well as current trends and fashions in Poinsettias. Karl shared great cultural tips on how to prolong the life of your plants, as well as sold several plants to members.
