Growing Weird Plants: Cactus and Succulents

That's the name of the workshop I'll be leading at Portland Nursery this Saturday. We'll begin at 1 pm at the Stark Street location, 5050 SE Stark. They do have a sign up thingy on their website (and it looks better if you do sign up), but it's not required. I'd love to see some of you there.

Aloe thorns

This Aloe certainly has gotten the idea of thorny down pretty good. Thorns everywhere. But these aren't "bad" thorns. They aren't like the spines on an Opuntia or the point on the end of an Agave leaf. There's beauty here, but it's a tough and rough beauty...

If you're in the Portland area later today, Saturday, come on over to the Portland Nursery on Stark Street (5050 SE Stark) at 1 pm, where I'll be leading a workshop titled: "Weird Plants: Growing Succulent Plants 101". Hope I'll see some of you there.
