New Gymno from the OCSS

Friday was the kick off of the three day sale that the Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society is having at the Portland Nursery 5050 SE Stark location. The sale will be during the hours of the nursery. If anyone has the chance go by and see a great selection of cactus and succulents for sale. Plus some of the members have brought a few specimen plants from their private collection for display.

Gymnocalycium andreae v. dopianum

This Gymnocalycium is one of the plants I purchased from Luther of Kara Nursery.

It is only about 1/2 inch wide.

OCSS Sale

Last Saturday and Sunday the Oregon Cactus & Succulent Society had their annual June sale at the Division St. Portland Nursery. There will be another sale in July on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd at the Stark St. location. I always like to see what there is to purchase, do some admiring, and to visit with Luther of Kara Nursery and also writes the Oregon Cactus Blog. The photos below are the plants that I purchased from him for new additions in my collection in the Death Valley Shack.
