OCSS Picnic and Open House

Consider this an open invitation to anyone in Portland and the Northwest to come to our home and nursery for an evening of food, plants and conversation this coming Sunday, August 18 beginning at 3 pm. The fried chicken and cold, non-alcoholic beverages will be provided by the club and the rest of the picnic will be potluck. Plants will be available to purchase beginning at noon.
Also, on the day before, Saturday, August 17, we will be open for plant sales from 9 am to 5 pm. Come by to check out the plants on Saturday if you can't come on Sunday.

Enjoy your plants!

Nothing to Post...

I don't have anything to post tonight. Or, another way to put it, I'm too tired to find something to post. If you're coming to the picnic, I'll see you there. Otherwise...goodnight!

OCSS Picnic and Open House

Tonight, just a reminder for those in the Portland area that we will be holding our Open House and Annual Picnic at our place on Sunday afternoon. You don' have to be a member of the cactus & succulent society to attend and we'll be open from 2 pm on, with the picnic beginning around 4:00. The meat dish will be provided by the society and the rest of the picnic is potluck. Please bring a dish to share.

The starter went out on the van today when I was away from the nursery, so I was unable to work on getting things ready for most of the afternoon while I waited for the starter to be replaced. And on Friday, we're going to the Oregon State Fair. So please forgive if everything isn't "spick and span." [For those translating from English: neat and tidy, all cleaned up.]

Hope to see some of you there. Ladybug will be here to great you.

Echeveria 'Lola'

I've posted 'Lola' before - probably many times - but it's worth it. A Dick Wright hybrid of E. lilicina & E. derenbergii, it's stood the test of the years, and - happily - we now have enough of them that are mature enough to sell. So, it'll be going back up on our nursery list any day now.

Thus ends day 2 of shameless advertising...
On another note, if you're in the Portland area - defined broadly - you're invited to come to the OCSS (Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society) picnic and open house at our place (7009 N Fiske Ave., Portland) on the afternoon of August 26. This is a correction so, if you put it on your calendar for July???, please correct it also. And thanks for calling it to my attention :)
