Show and Sale Update

Hey, there are a few plants left so if you're in the area come on over. For a Friday, today was quite good, and I know from talking to you that some of you have been to the blog. I really appreciate your coming out. And if you live in the Portland area but were thinking of not coming out, perhaps because you don't want to buy anything right now...I certainly understand that. Just come out to see the plants and to chat. I enjoy meeting you face to face.

I took some photos but will get more tomorrow. Until then

Enjoy your plants!

OCSS Summer Show and Sale II

We'll be going here and there getting ready for the second show & sale of the summer which is taking place this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Portland Nursery, 5050 SE Stark St. in Portland. Hours: 9-7, Friday and Saturday; 9-5 on Sunday.

It appears there will be 5 different venders this time, offering the largest selection of cacti and succulents offered in the Portland area during the year. We'll be there with many more plants than in June and I'm sure there will be something for just about everyone.

As was the case last time, I'll probably be too exhausted to blog when I get home each day, but I'll try.

And to close off the night, here's a picture of the flower of Aeonium pseudotabulaeforme. Back at you as soon as possible.

Another Cactus Sale

The second summer Show & Sale of the Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society (OCSS) is coming up this coming weekend, July 16, 17 and 18. This time it's at the Portland Nursery on Stark St. (5050 SE Stark) in Portland, 9 am - 7 pm Friday and Saturday and 9 am - 5 pm on Sunday. Come on out and join the fun.


And a special "thank you" to those of you who showed up at the seminar on Sunday. There were 15 in attendance and I hope it was a good experience for all.

Echinocereus rigidissimus var. rubrispinus was blooming today but I didn't have the time to get a picture, so we'll just have to do with this one from the archives. 

Enjoy your plants.

See you at the show

I probably won't have time to post much during the show & sale. I'll be loading plants out tomorrow afternoon; it'll take about three trips with our van (need to get a larger truck for this). The sale is then on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'll take photos, but I'll really be beat each evening. Next week then!

Finally, a picture of Sulcorebutia canigueralii. It's been blooming like mad and putting on quite a show.
