Bob Webb and Toni Yocum will open the eyes of Euphorbia lovers with their excellent views and photography. Bob will show the genus Euphorbia in various countries ranging from Yemen down to South Africa. Trees to tiny things.

Bob Webb has collected succulent plants for about 20 years. For his day job he is a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Tucson; however, he has worked as a plant ecologist in the southwestern United States and Baja California for nearly 30 years. He's been traveling to the Arabian Peninsula and Africa since the mid-1990s and has visited Yemen, Oman, Kenya, South Africa, Namibia and Botswana in search of succulent plants.

Please join us for our last presentation of 2006. We started in January 2006 with Bob's presentation on Aloes and we finish with his look at the remarkable genus Euphorbia. Don't miss this program from a really excellent speaker and someone who really knows, grows and loves these plants.
