I visited a plant show last weekend that I not previously been to, and was pleasantly surprised what a nice show it was... in Los Angeles in a pretty nice neighborhood... and lots of plants I had not seen in the previous shows in this area (after a while you begin to recognize the same old plants over and over again).... and this show was combined (sort of) with a really nice bromeliad show (one room over) that, in my opinion, was way nicer than the cactus show.. .mostly because there were LOTs of plants I didn't know, as opposed to just a few. Anyway, below there are LOT of photos... hope not too many for those that have cable modems... sorry for those that don't...
