Christmas in August

Echeveria 'Christmas', that is! Now, wouldn't an Echeveria wreath of these beauties be amazing? Unfortunately, we only have a limited supply available at this time...

 

If you're interested in viewing our latest newsletter from the Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society, I just posted it in PDF format at the OCSS homepage.

Echeveria 'Christmas'

These are from leaf cuttings taken three years ago. They're not ready to sell yet but are certainly ready to show off.

Today turned out to be a pretty nice day. I wasn't feeling the best earlier on but felt better as the day went along. And today was Portland Parkways in north Portland,  a time when a network of streets is closed to all motorized traffic and thousands of people, walking, biking, skating, etc. take to the streets. Our street was part of the network today and, other than a few bikers who felt a need to blast noise from their radios, it was beautifully quiet and pleasant. Of course, when we took Ladybug out for a bit, that drew a small crowd.

Echeveria 'Christmas'

It's a new one for us: Echeveria 'Christmas'. Aptly named, if a little out of season. What can I say except that it's being propagated.
