Succulenticon 2008 Displays and Outside Gardens

Post by Trevor »

A couple of weeks ago, I attended the Australian C & S Conference - "Succulenticon" - which is held every two years in a different state of Oz. This year's was in Adelaide, South Australia, and featured three overseas speakers, Steve Hammer, Woody Minnich and Len Newton and a number of local experts as well. It was a great conference, and the 8 odd hour drive over and the same back went without a hitch, which is always a bonus. One of the highlights of the weekend was a bus trip to a number of outside planted Cactus and Succulent gardens. I thought I'd share some pictures from the various events of the weekend with my BCSS forum buddies. The next one is in Sydney in 2010 and I do believe our own "forumite" Colin Walker is a booked speaker. I hope to be there - but time will tell.

Anyway enjoy - First off, our home for the talks-

Some of the display plants, obviously influenced by Steve Hammer's presence...
