Colorado Cactus and Succulent Society Show

 This weekend I attended my first CCSS show at the Denver Botanic Gardens.  Fascinating.  I learned about it on Panayoti Kelaidis' blog.  Hands down one of my favorite blogs for plant inspiration.

When I arrived at the gardens there was not a parking place to be had.  The place was rockin!  I noticed a long line of 30+ succulent and cacti holding enthusiasts waiting to purchase their new treasures outside of the show.

All the normal garden variety succulents were there, but what I found most intriguing were the assortment of cold hardy cacti and agave.  I met many fascinating succulent & cacti people including Leo, a grower and author of this book.

Of course, I couldn't resist adding plants to the cardboard shopping box.  A new cacti inspired container garden will be created soon.
