You may remember that in July, members of the Cascade Cactus and Succulent Society came to visit my garden. (Post here.) The day began at the home of Lisa Alba, one of the members. Her collection of plants is almost as great as her artistic talent. Lisa made a majority of the pots in which her plants are growing and has a knack for pairing pots and plants to delightful effect. I'll be mostly quiet and let you enjoy the plants.

This amazing creature was being donated to the society as it wasn't going to move with it's previous owner. The society holds an annual odd plant show and sale which Alison and I attended just last weekend.

Lisa's home is filled with interesting, wonderful, unusual objects. I'd met a kindred spirit! The delightful thing is that on this day, I'd met a whole bunch of kindred (a bit obsessed) plant people and am looking forward to joining the society!

On Thursday Next week, we'll tour the garden of a couple of other members who invited me visit with them later and also do join Alison and me as we find new treasures at the odd plant show and sale! (Forgot about GBBD and FFU this week!)
Some of the collection is having a summer vacation outside.
Some of the collection lives indoors year round.
Isn't this a cool piece?

What a joyful experience!
