Newsletter of the Cactus and Succulent Society of San Jose



You Had to Have It

It was the plant that called to you from across the floor. Among the sea of potted beauties, it stood out just for you. You had to have it. Putting it in your box felt like crossing from one plane of existence to another. You just could not wait to get it home and put it in a place of honor among the other precious members of your collection of favorites.

This meeting is all about that plant. Bring it. (Or if you cannot bear the risk of moving it, bring a picture. We know that you could not resist immortalizing it on film as soon as the light was right!)

Tell us why and how this particular specimen spoke to you, how it adds to your love and knowledge of succulent plants, and anything else about it that you would like to share.
