ABOUT THE SOCIETY
The Society was formed in September 1999 especially for Streptocarpus (Cape Primrose) growers with small, medium or large collections. The current membership is just over 550. We welcome new members with a wide range of growing knowledge and experience. Members range from beginners with a few plants on their windowsills to expert growers with many years of experience. We are happy to help new members to increase their expertise and enjoyment of streptocarpus growing.

On 12th August 2017 Ken Jones passed away.
He helped to start the society with Frank Davies
(hence the FranKen name for hybrids).
He will be sadly missed. He was a real character as well as a fanatical plantsman.
RIP Ken.
