A large variety of local and foreign species will be on display at the annual exhibition organised by the Cactus and Succulent Society today and tomorrow at the Victoria Hall, in Naxxar .

Karl Spiteri, Bank of Valletta's manager corporate branding and quality, presented a sponsorship cheque to Rene Zahra, secretary of the Cactus and Succulent Society, who thanked the bank for the annual support that helps the society hold this much-anticipated annual event.

Mr Spiteri said the bank supports such initiatives that promote a greater understanding of the rich diversity of plant species.

The society was formed in 1951 by people interested in the study, conservation and cultivation of cacti and succulent plants.

The society holds numerous events, regular meetings and sends members a monthly newsletter and an annual journal.
