Cacti and Succulent Competition

While at the Gardens, there was a competition for the best cactus or succulent set up.  We were given a bean at the entrance of the building and asked to drop the bean in a cup next to our favorite arrangement.

Lots of tables were set up with many beautiful arrangements.


It was also a nice break from the hot weather outside!

Eventually I had to make my choice and my favorite is below......

Cyphostemma Cirrhosum

  1. I would have been there for hours admiring all those wonderful entries, trying to pick a favorite. The one you chose is beautiful and very, very unusual!

  3. Do you know what is interesting?? I think that none of these plants were for sale! I had wanted to purchase a couple but couldn't....but here's the cool thing about this all. Everyone was doing it all for fun. There were a lot of plants in that room so I can only imagine the number of people who participated. That's pretty amazing Phoenix.
