Lee Magnuson, Palm Beaches
Topic: Hybridizing Tips and Tricks
Lee has lived in Broward County since he was 5 years old. About 14
years ago Lee had 1 bromeliad in his yard and didn’t even know what it
was. His wife told him it was a bromeliad and suggested he attend a
meeting of the Bromeliad Socety. He has been collecting and hybridizing
ever since. Lee is a member of the Bromeliad Society International and
currently is President of the Bromeliad Society of the Palm Beaches. He
was also a vendor at the 2022 World Conference in Sarasota. His program
will be a hands on demonstration and he will be selling some of his
hybrids.

Dennis Cathcart
Topic: A Naturalist Visits Cuba
Dennis and Linda Cathcart are the owners of Tropiflora Nursery in
Sarasota, Florida. They started Tropiflora in the early 1970s. Dennis
and Linda have visited over 25 countries on more than 100 trips and
expeditions. Together they made travel, adventure, plant exploring,
speaking and writing a way of life. For many years Dennis documented his
travel adventures with a monthly newsletter called The Cargo report.
From these journals we followed the adventures of Dennis and other
collectors like Wally Berg, John Anderson, Dr. Hiro Takizawa and many
others who travelled with Dennis to Central and South America. A tour of
Tropiflora Nursery was one of the highlights of the recent Bromeliad
World Conference.
