About the event

CSSA April Gathering 2026
Hope you can join us at the CSSA March Gathering! For those unable to attend the hall we will still be on Zoom (details on how to join can be found below).


📣 Our Speaker this month is Attila Kapitany - Dracaena draco and friends

Dracaena draco has many forms and related species that are worth knowing and growing! But which is the best of these? Attila will also share some interesting and unusual aspects of growing these dracaenas!

Attila Kapitany is a leading expert on Australian succulents. He has written and co-authored 18 books or publications on cacti and succulents including large tomes on Copiapoa and Echeveria.
For several decades, Attila’s professional and private life has been consumed by the appreciation and promotion of these plants to the collector, the gardener and the general public. He has regularly appeared on television, radio and stages around the country and internationally.
In the last 15 years he has become best known for his work with Australian native succulents and other xerophytes including bottle trees, cycads and grass trees. Along with the Australian Government, Attila helped organise a series of postage stamps featuring his favourite plants.
