Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society show and sale

I'm afraid I haven't been too diligent at posting lately. My apologies. It's been a bit chaotic.

A brief re-cap:
We now have a Paso Fino horse: Jardinera de Omega. She arrived from Florida about a week and a half ago and we've been spending some time out at the stables (a few miles from us) to get to know her.

Last Sunday we took a day trip up into the mountains to Sister's Oregon and further on the Three Creek Lake up next to the Sisters Wilderness. Lucky for us, the van didn't blow it's engine until the next day. Searching for a new, used van now!

And this coming weekend, July 17-19, I'll be at Portland Nursery (5050 SE Stark St. for those in the Portland area), where we will be participating in the Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society Summer Show and Sale. Hope to see some of you there.

I can't go out to the nursery and start potting up plants for the sale until I post a new photo, this one of Huernia bayerii. Enjoy.

More 'Stars & Stripes'

Here's another view. Enjoy!

Echinopsis 'Stars & Stripes'

Well, it's not quite the 4th, but 'Stars and Stripes' is setting off its fireworks in a spectacular manner. Who needs the kind which blow up and go bang when you have this?

Siningia tubiflora flowers

The Sinningia tubifloras are blooming like mad right now. Wow!

Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society meeting

Perhaps I'll see some of you this next Sunday. We're hosting the June meeting of the Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society at 4:30 pm here at the nursery next Sunday, June 28. We'll be sharing a potluck meal, I'll be sharing a program on Haworthias and in general we'll have a good time. We'd be glad to have you join us: 7009 N. Fiske Ave in North Portland.

Lobivia haematantha rebutioides sublimiflora (syn. Echinopsis denspina)

We received this plant with the following moniker: Lobivia haematantha var. rebutioides subsp. sublimiflora which is also known as Lobivia rebutioides var. sublimiflora (Backeb. ex Wessner) Backeb. or, simply Echinopsis densispina (Werderm.)Whatever it is, what flowers!

Weingartia variegate

We've had this Weingartia in our collection for longer than we can remember. And it flowers prolifically every year.
