I just LOVE the flowers on the last one!

I like the ones with the exposed roots/caudex and wonder if I have enough time left in my life to get a plant into that size or shape. Any guesses on the age of the Euphorbia stellata or Pachypodium bispinosum, or how long it took to "build" those plants?

Harriet,
I don't know but those plants are cool. They look almost like they are bonsai but of succulents!

Peter, I think that this has been the trend more and more now for the past three years. I like this trend.

Amazing plants!

But wheres all the cactus?

Tony, I was hard-pressed to find cacti in the Show. The club name says it all: The San Francisco SUCCULENT and Cactus Society.

Byron,
cool pics. I am sorta intrigued by one of the grafts in the right corner of your third picture. IT looks like someone grafted an Opuntia crest on top of a saguaro or something.

Also I liked that Bromelid that I guess is the Billbergia vittata 'Domingos-Martins'
That is interesting looking!

Oh and by the way, they are the ONLY ones who have placed the words in that order in their society's name. Amazing San Francisco.

Well that looks like a great show even if they do have their priorities reversed.
