I was lucky enough to get to go to the Chicago Flower and Patio Show last weekend. They had a section of flowers presented by people called House Plants. In this area that is what most cactus are, house plants.
They had quite a variety of cactus.
Some even won ribbons because they were so large, unusual or nicely (is that a word?) grown.
There were lots of succulents mixed in with the cactus. This seems like a common theme as they grow well together since they have about the same water requirements.
They had succulents displayed in ways that one might not usually think of doing. Isn't that why we go to these garden shows, to get ideas. I thought this one was quite dramatic.
I wanted you to know I was thinking about you. I hope you have a Happy Cactus Monday.
For more Cactus Monday treats go to Teri's Painted Daisies.

HCM! Love the love heart cactus at the end here!
I love going to these shows! That "hair" succulent is amazing, as is the "heart" one. Looks like you had a great time. I hope you got to see some of Chicago while you were there.
Wonderful photos! My favorite is the succulents in the head planter also. Really cool!

Pretty little things! I like that curly Hoya in the head planter! Very cool!!!
Lisa, I would love to exchange postcards with you. It may take me a bit to get it made. I've only got the weekends to work on art stuff. Email me....I seems to have lost yours.
I love these photos.
After this winter I've decided green is good! Always enjoy your cacti!
