Meetings
Each year, members of APS gather to catch up, renew friendships, share photos and information on penstemons, and most importantly visit new places to SEE PENSTEMONS in their natural habitat. As one of the highlights of society membership, the annual meetings are anticipated throughout the year. Here we include information about upcoming meetings, as well as historical information on past meetings.
American Penstemon Society Annual Meeting 2023
To: American Penstemon Society Members
Subject: Important Letter from APS President Andi Wolfe
Dear American Penstemon Society Members,
The board met on 6/29/23 and, after much discussion, decided to postpone our annual meeting in the Blue Mountains until 2024. Our primary reason for doing this is that the peak flowering for penstemons this year has been this week and last. By the time we meet in July, penstemons will be in seed.
Everyone who has registered for the annual meeting will receive a full refund via the mechanism used for payment. If you have any questions about the disbursement of refunds, please contact our Treasurer, Lupita Wessler (
Our 2024 meeting will take place in the Blue Mountains June 21-24, which should put us in the peak of the season. Walter Fertig and Nan Vance have been scouting routes and will have a write-up for the next newsletter. We will have information about registration and housing later this year and more details will be available on the website.
For this year, we would like to have a Members meeting via Zoom. This will take place Saturday, July 22nd at 5 P.M. Pacific time zone. The link for the zoom call will be sent to all members the day before. If you have topics you would like to have discussed, please email them to me at
We also are actively seeking nominations for President of the Society. My term ends this year. Please send nominations to
I look forward to seeing many of you on our Zoom call July 22nd.
Andi Wolfe
President, American Penstemon Society.
