Euphorbia flanaganii flowers

One of the Medusa Head Euphorbias, this one puts out quite a display of flowers. Several of ours are flowering right now.
And we're almost ready for the OCSS show and sale. We've potted up enough plants to fill 35 or so flats, plus some specimens. Now comes the fun of transporting them all there. The show begins on Friday at 9 am and ends Sunday at 4 pm. I'll be giving a presentation on succulent plants at 1 pm on
Saturday.
This all takes place at Portland Nursery, 5050 SE Stark St. in Portland. Hope to see some of you there (specifically, those who are in the Portland area; but if you want to fly in :) we'll give you the red carpet treatment!

  4. Aeonium arborium is green, so it's likely Aeonium arborium 'Atropurureum' or A. arborium 'Zwartkop'. A couple of good references are http://www.smgrowers.com/products/plants/plantdisplay.asp?plant_id=45 and http://www.smgrowers.com/products/plants/plantdisplay.asp?plant_id=2885. We know the people at San Marcos Nursery and they are pretty accurate with their information.

    Tomorrow's going to be a long day. I'll continue to set up at 7:30 am and finish up at 7pm (19:00). Have a great day.

    1. Welcome Cintia. I hope I can continue to keep it entertaining. After we get through with the current show and sale, I'll try to post more, but we may be off on a short road trip to southern California for some rest and relaxation. Feel free to add your comments at any time.
