Huntington Library

Post by keith »

I went to Pasadena to California cactus center never been before. It was smaller than I expected but with a few very nice large old cactus and succulents , the owner was nice and said they had growing grounds inland to grow all their plants. The plants were even more expensive than Ebay but they did have dry stall a type of small pumice and priced less than at Kahoots a feed store near me. I bought a bag of dry stall. I used to live in AZ and could buy a small cactus for about 2.50 not used to 13 dollars cactus. $45 dollar echeveias, etc. Its CA everything's over priced.

After about a half hour at CCC I decided to go to the Huntington it's close by, a Orchid show was going on and the parking lot said full, it wasn't, so I spent the rest of the day there what a great place. check out the pictures from the greenhouse.
