Look us up Byron. Darryl and Jen will have their Corona Cacti their, any my wife Yvonne and I will be there selling Prickly Palace stuff and I am Show Chair. I guess, yes, we'll be going.

All SOCAL's. It is FREE (well the plants aren't). The Sale starts Friday morning at 10:30 (Huntington opening time) and the Show is open on Sturday and Sunday - 10:30 til 4:00.

I never missed a CSSA show until I moved to MN.

If you want an idea of the show plants you can see there, check this link:

I just read somewhere that the sale will only be on the 26th while the show is on the 27-28th. I'm not sure if this is true so is the show going to run from the 26th-28th?

I saw a listing of C&S events at the Central Coast meeting on Sunday, sadly no mention of the CSSA S&S nor any of the larger events in the south. The old NORCAL vs SOCAL deal.

Agreed Buck! At the SF succulent show, they gave me list of "all" the major succulent shows. And they did not mention the CSSA show.

We had a great time at the CSSA S&S and met Saguaro123. He and his family drove 400 plus miles to come to the show. 685 entries of beautiful plants and I never had time to take one picture. Hope someone did.
