The photography lessons were fantastic.  We were treated to instruction on both field and studio photography.  Rick's work is "National Geographic" quality. The company and food complimented the artful home and gardens of our host, Rick Holmes.  Thanks to everyone that attended the meeting.  We hope to see you again and many of those that did not attend at our next meeting at the Springs Preserve.

April 2012 Meeting (Really Spring Show and Sale at Moon-Sun)

Our usually annual Spring Show and Sale (Cactus Show and Art Fair) is again being hosted by Moon-Sun Cactus and Koi Gardens April 14 and April 15 2012 from 9AM to 4PM.

Review the show rules to enter one or more plants in our show.  Tips for showing a plant can be found on this page of the Cactus and Succulent Society of America page on shows and judging.  Entries must be made by 7AM Saturday April 14 so, get your entries in Friday or sooner.  I believe there will be greenhouse space  set aside for show plants before the show.  Volunteers to watch our booth and answer questions about the plants are needed.  Contact Patrick Helfrich if you can help.

Friend of the Society, Linn Mills, has a nice write up of the coming show in the Review Journal: See blooms come out at cactus show . And the free Las Vegas Review Journal View has a write up on the show and our host's business: A prickly paradise: Moon-Sun Cactus & Koi Gardens plans art and plant show.
