Melbourne Cactus & Succulent Show Pictures

[irabionist]

So the Melbourne Cactus and Succulent show was on this weekend, and there were some very very very sexy specimens.

I was too busy running around trying to buy all the cacti I could, but I did take a few flicks.

If anyone else has some photos from the show, chuck them up!

that lighter really doesn't do that tbm justice, it's huge (thick)

[irabionist]

Yeah I hated it, that was the best photo I could take that showed how fat the TBM was, I'd say it was around 7 - 9cm thick!

Some very nice pics in there Sabry and some very nice specimens

you did extremely well to photograph anything.. I know that plant stall frenzy..gotta rush around to beat your mates to the best plants!

I wish they would put on shows to this degree of excellence in NZ!

[IndianDreaming]

Wow - some beautiful plants there... Can someone pop a post up next time there's a Cactus/Succulent show? Or something similar - I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to physical events, I get all my cacti porn on SAB

Nice pics.

Any idea of the name of the succulent in the 5th last pic (multi coloured in a white round pot)? Something ......sa miniature

[irabionist]

Haha, I was jumping in and running back and forth between the car dropping of what i bought

Yeah, the show is usually around the end of October, but check the Cactus & Succulent Society of Australia's website/FB page and the will post it up there!

IDK, what it's called (I wish i took a photo of the name), but I want one and it's my phone background Quite tasty!

I'm jealous they have all those gorgeous lophs there! At the Adelaide shows there are never any as they aren't allowed here so they stay a bit more underground than sitting right on the tables. But those ones look amazing!

[PositiveHAL]

never disappoints that show. I really liked the chess set, although a bishops hat should have been on the board

Bugger, that's two years in a row I've missed out, thanks for sharing the photos !

Wow. This is just beautiful. I wish there were cacti shows like this in my area. I would be very happy.

My first CSSA show last weekend. I'm normally preoccupied with my bonsai, but this is a whole new world! C&S have always held a passing interest, but I was so taken, I walked away with a tray full of starters!

Anyway, took some photos you might enjoy too ...
