San Gabriel Valley Cactus and Succulent Winter Show and Sale 2022 |

I went to my very first Cactus and Succulent show and sale and it was an awesome experience! I saw actual specimens that I only used to see in pictures. I learned from some exhibitors and vendors. Best of all, I got to shop and bring home awesome new cacti, some belonging to a genus that I have no experience taking care of.

I like how proud Richard is he talks about his cacti 🌵 I’m so proud when I talk about my plants

[@CactusCaffeine]

True. He has so much passion in the hobby. We should all be proud of our plants. 😊

[@michellec.4994]

The POT makes a grand statement for me!!!

[@CactusCaffeine]

Sure do! The pot gives the plant a whole new character!

[@solarwinds-]

I don't usually like cactus shows but this one is an exception. As usual, Ana brings background and information about the plants, the growers and how to get into the show. I can tell Ana is a teacher, we are all in class when she is on KZbin, Ha Ha.

[@kazochrymowicz3076]

Thank You.

Oh WOWSERS galore Ana :-D absolutely magnificent video, so many incredible plants there at the Show, I want them all haha, amazing Cacti and Succulents and so many of a huge size and age to them, and a really awesome Show, we LOVED watching this fantastic video, thank you so much for filming your amazing visit and for sharing with us all, and we are so looking forward to seeing what you have bought haha, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and PLANT POWER to Las Vegas for a super Sunday today XXXX

[@CactusCaffeine]

Oh but Lyn, you have several amazing show plants yourself! Also Hans. You can easily win awards, too if you join one. 😃 It was an awesome experience. It opened my eyes on how to make my cacti look pretty. 😉 Also I saw the potential in many of the still baby cactus that I have.

Congratulations to winners!!.it's work for vendors ...hope y'all are purchasing!🦋😘..I used to do vintage shows & Church Bazaars.. loved it but lots work!!🦋

Great job, Ana! I have never been to a big show like this, but you have brought the feeling of being there . I believe Cactus Quest did the show last year, so I guess that I need to save my money for a trip (if I can get in). Thank you for your effort and sharing.

[@morrisparkintheozarks6831]

It's a great place Bill!!! If you can, GO!! Read my comment to Ana. Peace, Love, Plants!!!

[@CactusCaffeine]

It was so exciting to see the mature plants displayed so beautifully. I can see the potential of my cacti, that are still babies compared to the ones in the show. Lol! I hope you can attend one, too. A memorable experience for us that are into the hobby.

[@joannhellenbrand6825]

They sure some interesting shapes at the show

[@2wheelman]

i wish las vegas could host such an event. glad you had a great time.. thanks for the tour.

[@CactusCaffeine]

Yeah, me too! It would be more convenient. Would love to meet fellow growers nearby.

[@Cactimania]

Absolutely awesome video, Ana. Wow what a selection of stunning plants. Loved some of the pots they were in as well. Cactus and succulent heaven 😍 Looking forward to seeing the haul video. Thank you for sharing with us as always. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜☕️

[@edithcoliagrandis]

Oh wow! I remember this place from Hunter’s video and I had the same reaction. I got so excited seeing those amazing plants that my heart was beating so fast! Took me a while to fall asleep. Daz and I watched it after my work ended and I end my work really late. 😆 This was an awesome tour! Drooled over both plants and pots! 😱 Excited to see your haul! Curious to know the prices too. 🥰

[@CactusCaffeine]

Thank you! Yep, some of the pots were as interesting as the plants. I don’t know if I would go to that level, though. Investing in pots is another story. 😉 But I definitely enjoyed my first show. Wish you could attend one too in your countries.

[@dianahill5070]

I just started seriously collecting last year so seeing the displays in all the beautiful pots! - I need to find some of those beautiful pots for my plants!!! That must be a big advantage of living in the West all that artistry!!!

Oh Ana!!! Thank you so much!! Brings back memories!! The LA co. Arboretum was always a favorite. And my first and only cactus & succulent show was this one in April of 1984. As I mentioned before, I still have a few of them. I have to tip my hat to Mr Salcedo! Fantastic Euphorbias!!!! And cactus!! This guy knows his plants!!! And I have to fully agree with the other gentleman about " staging" I am all about that with the nice pots, rocks, arrow heads, cholla skeletons! Definitely helps bring out a nice plant. I would have spent a couple of hundred easy from the vendors!!! And still want more!!! Thanks so very much!!! I love that place!!! Like I said before, I used to live down the street" Avenue " actually carried them home on my bicycle!!! Awesome show , wish I could have reached through and said " ok, that one & that one & ....... hahaha!!! Yes went that April, and a month later I brought all my plants with me to the Ozarks!!! Thanks again for sharing!!! I loved it!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to Las Vegas, have a wonderful evening!!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌💖🌵🌺🏵🌿🌼🌲🌷🪴🌻🌴🌹🌳😃👍

[@CactusCaffeine]

Oh, how lucky you were when you lived in that area! The LA arboretum is a great big place. I wasn’t able to explore the whole place as I had limited time. It also rained. Wow, we attended our first show in the same place. I didn’t realize they were doing the shows since the 80’s! Your Euphorbias can win awards in a show, Clyde. I see yours in your video and I must say, you have some that can easily win medals! 😃

[@allanpeck8523]

Those Sulcorebutia rauschii really caught my eye! Back in the 1980s you could purchase a plant with pups in a 3" pot for $2.45. I tried keeping them as windowsill plants but gave up after three failed attempts. I just couldn't find the right combination of soil, sunlight & watering but I was a newbie back then & that happens. I'd like to give them another try but those prices! Maybe growing them from seed is the better option - lol. Watching this video was very enjoyable, seeing some of the cacti brought back a lot of memories from my cactus growing days in the 1980s. I saw examples of a lot of plants I used to have. This was a great post - I'm going to watch the next video to see what you brought home.

[@muilay8187]

I went on a Saturday. It was especially nice being back after not attending the previous year. I got a few cacti and I can’t wait to see it in bloom. You should plan on coming back in August when they have the Inter city sale. Much bigger with a lot more vendors 😊

[@CactusCaffeine]

Oh, we went the same day! Maybe we bumped on each other. Lol. The inter-city would be a dream. It just so happened that my husband had work near LA so I was able to tag along and watch the San Gabriel show. Hope I can attend the inter-city next year.

[@CactusCaffeine]

Haha. I’m not a “show” kind of collector. My cacti are all beat up and hard grown under the desert weather. Not to mention, those pots are investments, too. 😁 But thanks for your vote of confidence. You have some specimens that you can enter, too!

[@dapan93]

Are the prices normal ? Or it's that expensive because of the cactus convention ? Here in France, I bought 3 little cacti for less than 5€

[@CactusCaffeine]

The prices were “normal” according to the sizes of the plants sold. What’s nice about it is that there were many vendors that you can shop around for better prices. I had a cactus that I placed back cause I found a cheaper one being sold by another vendor in the next table. 😉
