Behind the Scenes at the SDCSS Part One: SHOW SET-UP & VENDORS

[@QueenofSucculents]

Have a question on ANYTHING to do with succulents? Go to debraleebaldwin.com and browse the menu or use the Search bar. Btw, my site is not monetized---no annoying pop-up ads. It's my gift to my followers and the culmination of my career as a horticulturist/photojournalist specializing in succulents. You'll find 100+ pages of tips and ideas; thousands of photos and must-know facts for specific varieties; curated design ideas for gardens, landscapes and containers; interviews with experts; seasonal info; and much more. Use the site as a research tool that also is entertaining---the same goal as my KZbin channel. Q's welcome!

I wish I’d known. I always forget these things… My mom even works right there at the Junior Theater as their costumer-seamstress. I would have absolutely gone with her to work to spend money in room 101. 🤣 Everything will be gone Sunday! Haha. But perhaps not. There’s always something. Also, I love that spiderwort (commelinid) plant. I have a variegated one… it’s in the same family as _Tradescantia_ (like 'Wandering Jew'/'Purple Heart' & _T. zebrina_ 'inch plant'), the Commelinaceae, but specifically it is _Callisia repens_ 'Pink Panther', and it’s the type species for the genus. There’s a nice bronze one too with red-backed leaves, and a neon green one. I love it. The first time I saw one I was so surprised at the small size.

I'm impressed by your knowledge, Erik! I wish I could change the audio track...but the next best thing is to have someone like you kindly correct me.

Hello Debra That wasn't a tradescantia but a callisia.
