ABOUT THE SOCIETY
The Society was formed in September 1999 especially for Streptocarpus (Cape Primrose) growers with small, medium or large collections. 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.
Founders: Frank Davies, Ken Jones
President: Lynne Dibley
BSS SHOW
The Society holds an Annual Show which is an opportunity for growers to meet each other and discuss topics of general interest.
Due to the pandemic, in 2020 and 2021 there were Virtual BSS Shows which can be viewed on the BSS SHOW 2020 and on the BSS SHOW 2021 pages.
MEMBERSHIP

A Seed Bank has been set up for both Hybrid and Species seed and these are available free to members.
