However when I read on I see mention of many sites and 1000's of plants that lead me to believe that this was a much bigger effort than just the Conservation Committee. Please clarify. If there were other groups involved such as local chapters please mention those groups and/or chapters. Who specifically on the conservation committee was involved?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06904697938584576868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-189043384158652063.post-24724032842701900972017-11-15T16:30:59.624-05:002017-11-15T16:30:59.624-05:00I just submitted a comment regarding my concern ab...I just submitted a comment regarding my concern about the relocation of Tillandsia fasciculata and the spread of the Mexican bromeliad weevil. I thought those plants were up in the panhandle but now realize they were simply hurricane ravaged plants at Koreshan State Park, so please disregard my comment.

In fact, the very reason Tillandsia fasciculata is on the endangered list, along with Tillandsia utriculata, is due to the presence of this weevil in Florida. At the very least, the plants should be quarantined before relocating them to new sites, or treated with an insecticide like Sevin dust.Roger Hammernoreply@blogger.com
