34Th Inter-City Cactus and Succulent Show and Sale 34th Inter-City Cactus and Succulent Show and Sale 9:00 – 5:00 August 10 – 11, 2019 Los Angeles County Arboretum Advancing your Cactus & Succulent Collection Most of us began our succulent journey pushing a shopping cart down the aisle of the garden department. A colorful succulent caught our eye. Then another one. A yard, patio, or windowsill was now enhanced by our new treasures. We slowly added more and more plants until we had curated a nice collection. Echeverias, Aeoniums, Euphorbias, and the odd cactus. We killed a few but didn’t know why. What soil should we use? How much light do they really need? How much or little should we be watering? We wanted to learn more, and to discover more interesting types of cacti and succulents. We joined a cactus club and went to our first show. The Inter-City Show is a result of the combined efforts of three of the largest local cactus and succulent clubs, Los Angeles, San Gabriel Valley, and Long Beach. The event is not merely a fundraiser for the clubs, but rather an opportunity for the public to learn about these truly amazing plants. Well over 1,000 specimen plants will be displayed in our show, featuring cactus and succulents that are native to six continents, special plants grown and cared for over the course of many years. The Inter-City Show is truly the Comic-Con of the cactus world. The sales area gives the succulent graduate the opportunity to advance their own collection. Thousands of plants will be available for sale, brought by two dozen vendors from around the country. Many of these plants are specialty plants, uncommon and unusual and need extra care with watering, light, and growing conditions. But that’s what happens when you graduate: you move on to more advanced challenges. These otherworldly plants will reward their owners with colorful flowers or intricate caudexes. Education is a key component of the Inter-City Show. The numerous walk and talks allow visitors to learn something new about cultivation. These intimate gatherings afford attendees the opportunity to ask questions from experts in a variety of succulent fields, learning things you can’t find in a book or by browsing the Internet. But one of the most enjoyable aspects is meeting new people who share the same interests as you. Pick the strangest succulent passion out there, and you’ll find someone else that shares it. Over the three decades of our show, countless friendships have sprung up between attendees. Plant material swapped, information exchanged, and new seeds planted. We look forward to another fun and successful show this year, featuring some new succulent lovers ready to take the next leap. Entry Tags & Show Schedule Entry tags and Show Schedules are available at all clubs and to spend more quality time with the club meetings. If you are entering from out of town plants you love.

  • Cactus Explorers Journal
    WE FIND TEPHROCACTUS HYPOGAEA From G.Charles On our very first trip to Argentina in 1992 we had been able to include a visit to the Quebrada del Toro and also to the Quebrada Humahuaca. Late in 1995 we decided to pay a return visit to this part of Argentina, but on this occasion we intended to travel along the full length of the Quebrada del Toro and then continue out of the head of the valley and on to the Altiplano. The plan was to come back across the Altiplano to the north of Quebrada del Toro, aiming to join the Quebrada Humahuaca near Purmamarca. After travelling up the full length of the Quebrada del Toro we crossed a pass at 4080m which took us through the mountain range which formed the watershed between the Toro valley and the altiplano; from there we went on towards San Antonio de los Cobres. We had made a number of stops in the Quebrada del Toro, at each one of which we found some interesting plants to look at. But once we had crossed the pass, there was nothing between the pass and San Antonio de los Cobres which caught our eye and induced us to make a stop. We then drove northwards out of San Antonio de los Cobres over a flat landscape, where the surroundings continued with little change in the scenery, with ground of an almost unbroken sandy or gritty brown colour. There was mostly little or nothing to be seen close to the road in the way of vegetation but sometimes a monotonous cover of low growing bushes or shrubs which would hardly reach knee height.

A farewell to dated ideas and concepts – molecular phylogenetics and a revised suprageneric classification of the family Cactaceae Reto Nyffeler & Urs Eggli Abstract: The advent of molecular analytical methods starting in the early 1990s allows now the use of a completely new and independent character set for the evaluation of traditional morphology-based classification systems. Today, we have at hand some two dozens of molecular phylogenetic studies on cacti that have been published during the past decade. These investigations offer various hypotheses about interrelationships among different groups of cacti and form the basis for a revised suprageneric classification system of the family Cactaceae as proposed here.

He has thirty years of experience growing and marketing cacti and succulents. Attila is also a prominent member of the Horticultural Media in Australia, writing regularly in magazines, journals and newspapers and promoting succulent plants. He was co-founder and developer of the well-known Collectors Corner and Paradisia nurseries, where his interests focused on the breeding, cultivating and marketing of rare and unusual plants. He has travelled extensively to plant habitats around the world and had amassed possibly one of the largest collections of (mostly seed- raised) plants in Australia.

His newest publications are a series of seven booklets on xerophytic Australia plants. Since 2007 Attila has dedicated much of his time and resources to Halosarcia bulbosa, photo by Attila Kapitany promoting our lesser known Australian succulent plants, touring the Australian speaking circuit regularly and featuring on television and radio. He writes: “With Australia’s natural flora of well over 20,000 species, at least 400 are considered to have a notable degree of succulence. “Covering at least one hundred species from forty genera and touching on some traditional and modern foods, supply and availability, cultivation, conservation and other points of interest.
