Every day new flowers in the greenhouse in Köln

It would be hard for anyone not to get hooked on cacti and succulents after viewing this thread. Such an amazing collection! You have created a truly incredible space, something to aspire to.

I am from Tucson. That is a great place to be that time of year.

Can you arrive in Arizona just a couple days earlier? We will be having our annual Central Arizona Cactus and Succulent Society show in Phoenix April 8-10 at the Desert Botanical Garden.

Even if you cannot make the show, you should try to visit the Desert Botanical Garden. It is worth the drive I think.

Have you been to Tucson before?

Good evening Vipassana,

thank You for the hint!

I have been at the show last year, my friends James and Tristan brought me there.
This year I will not have come earlier.

Here are some photos from last year.

Ah, good to hear you've seen it in the past. I actually met Tristan at last year's show and that is when I joined the CACSS group.

There are some very neat nurseries to visit in Tucson. I actually grew up a mile or two from Tanque Verde Greenhouses and B&B. I always enjoyed the desert native species of cactus and grew many with my father, but the show last year is where I really learned just how interesting the world of succulents is.

I should post my pictures from the show last year as well. I will make sure to post this year's show as well.

Good morning dear cacti friends,

it was a very mild November and December 2015 in Köln.
In mid-November the Mammillaria were still in the "outdoor-dining".
