Senecio rowleyanus flower

Obviously, this is a closeup. The flower's not that big. But it's really quite fascinating when you get up close and personal.

Senecio rowleyanus / Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society Sales

This is a reminder that the Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society will have two shows and sales this year, and from my perspective, they're coming up all too fast! But by then these Senecio rowleyanus (String of Beads) starts should going gangbusters. The first sale is at the Portland Nursery on Division St., June 18-20 and the second one will be at Portland Nursery on Stark St., July 16-18. On July 11 (1 pm) at the Stark St. store, I'll be doing a basic introduction to growing cacti and succulents. If you live within striking distance, I encourage you to come to any or all of the above.

They're going to be looking quite nice by June.

Enjoy your plants!
