The Cactus and Succulent Show and Sale

Saturday, we attended the Cactus Show at the South Coast Botanic Garden. We also took a walk into the main gardens, but more on that in another post.

I have always loved succulents and find them fascinating – so many varieties, sizes and colors. I always manage to pick up a new succulent and bring it home from the sale. This is one of four new succulents in 3-inch pots that made their way to our patio. It’s called ‘Neoporteria senilis’ or ‘Eriosyce senilis’ but I couldn’t find a common name for it on the internet. All I know is that the flowers are going to be bright pink when they bloom.

I’ll post another photo with the blooms when they open. Click the picture to see full sized.
