The show will display several hundred plants, including some of the finest specimens from many different private collections in our region, including our society's members.

You do not need to be a member to exhibit plants. Please bring your very best cacti and succulents to be exhibited at this show.

In addition to the judged show, the society's annual sale brings in vendors, from various places, that provide a wide variety of cacti and other succulent plants available for purchase; they range from bargain starter plants to spectacular specimens. Some excellent specimen plants will be sold via a silent auction, which will be done at least one of the days. Bidders are urged to be present at the close of bidding to purchase the plants, and take them home. An additional special feature of the sale is a selection of some locally grown, hardy species for the yard---at least in Albuquerque, and sometimes, further north.

We will have 3 checkout lines for sale items, instead of the traditional 2 lines. We will accept cash, checks and credit cards.
