| The show was great. Here are some pictures for those of you who couldn't make it.
Hope you all liked the pictures. Sorry I didnt get the names of the plants. I should have paid more attention. |

| Moosetrackz, Thanks for sharing, lots of interesting and beautiful plants! In your last photo, what is that plant in the middle (the one you say is your favorite)? I don't think I've ever seen one of those before... whatever it is. ;) Planto |

| I'm pretty new to succulents/cactus so I have no idea what that is. I've seen it before in other peoples pictures from shows and was so excited to see it in-person. Its so awesome looking. I wish I could have touched it to see what it felt like but they frown on that at shows lol |

| Nice pictures! You have a much better camera than me. Love them! Thanks for adding them. |
|
| Jelly beans indeed! My God, is that honestly a giant clump of H. cooperi var. truncata? Holy snot, that's amazing. I cannot imagine how gorgeous that would be with back light. I'd be the happiest lady on Earth if I were to own a glowing Haw clump that large. And the Dyckia, phew, so pretty; want so much! No wonder Aloe peasonii wins the show. Love the pictures. I truly appreciate the effort of you guys taking and uploading the shots for those of us who can't be at these shows. |

| Alkosa, yes, you got the name correctly on that plant. Microthrix also ID'd it with its old name (the one I'm used to seeing), Abromeitiella brevifolia. That was truly a mass of amazing specimen plants last year!! I must make a note to try to make the Huntington's annual July Show & sale this time. (Reggie, should we make a plan??!!??) I missed this post last year, & didn't see Jordi's fantastic Eulychnia castanea fa. spiralis blooming till now!! Wow! Have not seen one before!! Thanks to Moosetrackz & Lzrddr for posting all the pix from that 2012 show! What a treat! |

| Moosetrackz, what is the 11th photo down??? I have one like it that I am trying to ID. |
|

| I don't know if I could make it this month, Zeck, as we're scheduled to install a block wall. Mara, I don't think Moosetrackz/Dani has been posting to this forum since Jul of last year. Not sure GW had the checkbox for replies in place back then...but they could be lurking. =) Unfortunately, I don't know what that one is, but a guess is Eriosyce occulta (it has more wool or ? than I would expect for this one though). |

| Incredible. Jordy that flowering Eulychnia castanea fa. spiralis!!!! Wowsa. I have never seen one in bloom before. Thanks for linking to that! I have the CSSA Show and Sale in my calendar already Rosemarie!! Would love to have company. I have it for JUNE 29th. |

| Thank you rosemarie. IT got me on the right family and I think I have an ID for a cactus I was looking for. |

| Good catch, Zeck!! Yay! That's it! I was in too much of a hurry. Couldn't find a specimen from past flower shows with a name. That one was in part of my brain with no retrieval option. Ha! Copiapoa tenuissima forma monstruosa it is (I think)! I am not sure if there is variability of the spines (having vs. not), though. |
