30Th Inter-City Cactus and Succulent Show and Sale August 8 - 9 2015 9:00 - 5:00 Los Angeles County 30th Inter-City Cactus and Succulent Show and Sale August 8 - 9 2015 9:00 - 5:00 Los Angeles County Arboretum th The 30 Annual Show! The Show has been spectacular for every one of those years. Every year we get people coming back for the 10th or 20th time, and every year we get people wandering in by chance, who come back repeatedly, join a club and become part of the hobby. The Show is the most inclusive of any, with the highest quality plants seen anyplace, and at the same time has maintained the ability to attract entrants from novice, advanced and open categories in about equal numbers. The sales area has grown to be the best anywhere, with record sales year after year, with people flying into LA just to attend the Show. We have repeat attendees form India, Japan and Korea, along with frequent visitors from all over Europe. Buses come from San Diego, Fresno and Phoenix. The Show now lives on in perpetuity thanks to the displays on YouTube and Facebook. Pictures of the Inter-City Show now appear in every digital medium, allowing the show to be seen and enjoyed around the world. The Show is a success not because of the plants, but because of the wonderful volunteers, entrants, vendors, and not the least because of the assistance and support of the entire Los Angeles Arboretum staff. I count periodically, and there are over 100 people who participate in one way or another in helping put on this Show. We need the support of every one of them this year. The Show should be spectacular. Bring your best plants; we will have people coming from all over to see them. The Inter-City Show is one of the easiest to enter with classes for novice growers, advanced growers, and an open class for the expert growers. Novice and advanced growers are the heart of the Show! They enter more than two thirds of the plants exhibited, and these are the plants that convince visitors to become members of their local Cactus and Succulent Society chapter. The entry hours go into the evening starting at noon on Wednesday and 8 a.m. on Thursday. Friday’s entry hours are from 8 in the morning to 4 p.m. We need participation from members at all levels from all the clubs. When you exhibit and show with the best, you become a better grower, and all your plants will look better. Exhibit this year. You will enjoy the experience. Bring some friends to see the Show!

    28th Inter-City Cactus and Succulent Show and Sale August 17 - 18 2013 9:00 - 5:00 Los Angeles County Arboretum Dryland Visions Nowhere else in the world is there a display of plants from the drier regions of the world grown as well as the plants in our show. Nowhere else is there a display with the quantity and variety of plants. Nowhere else can you see the visions of plants and habitats from distant places captured by the selection of pottery, backgrounds and staging. The Inter-City Show is unique, and being part of the experience of participating is something that no one ever forgets. Every year there are about 100 entrants, and about 1400 plants. The selection is never the same. Last year in brutal heat we had a room full of people who came just to experience the wonder of the show. Many visitors find it incredulous that all of the wonderful shapes, colors and textures are from plants grown on a single planet. Many of the plants really define exotic in a way that no other plant show can. Pictures of the Inter-City Show now appear in every digital medium, allowing the show to be displayed and enjoyed around the world. A search on Facebook, Flickr and YouTube, will bring up past shows. The CSSA page on Facebook has a great selection of plant photos. Tours of the 2008 and 2011 shows are easily found on YouTube. We are occasionally on TV as well, appearing on episodes of The Desert Speaks. Although the show is only two days every August, it lives year-round in electronic media.

Ginns I read the article on the Chilean 'earth cacti1 (Chilean No. 12 pp 92-4, No. 13 pp. 151-3) with considerable interest although the term was new to me. Having grown most Copiapoas, Chileorebutias and Neochilenias from seed I had noticed the presence of we 11 developed tap roots in most species of these genera and some years ago pointed out in the N .C . & S.S. Journal that this was a characteristic of most Copiapoas, contradicting a correspondent who thought that the majority only had fibrous roots. He had evidently been dealing with mutilated collected plants or else those taken off grafts and rerooted. The point of most interest concerns the withdrawal of the shoot into the ground during spells of drought. This is caused by the shrinking of the tap-root, a process which can also be observed in some species of crocus which pul I the corm to a suitable distance below the surface. I have only found this phenomenon to occur with young plants and not, in fact, with Copiapoas; but plants up to two or three years old of all the Chileorebutias and some of the Neochilenias need repotting in the spring to bring the bodies above soil level. In extreme cases the plant disappears altogether underground. Those who graft their seedlings miss this interesting characteristic. The habit can also be observed in some of the Fralleas (Chileans N o. 13 p. 154) and Gymnocalyciums from the other side of the Andes.

Forms and Functions of Cacti and Succulents Inside and Out along with other Desert Dwellers! by: Ernesto Sandoval Ernesto will be sharing his understanding of the way succulents and other desert plants are adapted to surviving drought in desert and other dry environments. He’ll cover Biology (how they work overall), Anatomy (how they’re organized on the inside), Morphology (how they’re organized on the outside, and Ecophysiology (how all the parts above work together) to make the plants adapted to their often challenging lives. Ernesto Sandoval has been wondering and seeking questions to why plants grow and look the way that they do for a long time. Now he explains and interprets the world of plants to a variety of ages and experiences from K-12 to professionals as well as Master Gardeners. He regularly lectures to a variety of western Garden Clubs throughout the year and particularly to Succulent Clubs throughout California. Desert plants are his particular passion within his general passion for plants. He describes himself as a "Jose of All Plants, Master of None." Ernesto thoroughly enjoys helping others, and gardeners in particular, to understand why and how plants do what they do.

One way to contribute to the preservation of this family is to understand the processes that promote seed germination. Questions: How common is dormancy and seed banks in Cactaceae? Are there general patterns in cacti germination response to temperature, light, water, salinity, phytohormones, hydration/dehydration cycles, mechanical or chemical scarification? Data description: A total of 333 studies on cactus germination with information on 409 taxa. Study site and dates: since 1939 to January 2020. Methods: A search of scientific articles in Google Scholar was performed with the words Cactaceae, cacti and cactus, in combination with various matters on germination in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Results: The main germination studies in cactus deal with photoblasticism (275 taxa), temperature (205 taxa) and seed longevity (142 taxa).
