These plants were photographed at the Cactus and Succulent Society of San Jose's annual show and sale earlier this year. I recently joined this group and had the frenetic pleasure of photographing several of the impressive plants in the show and sale. Unfortunately, the light was poor. (This is no reflection on the society or their exceptional show, but more a result of the unpredictable climate of San Jose, California.) On the plus side, the pictures turned out better than I expected. I offer my thanks to the members of the society for the privilege of photographing their wonderful cacti and succulents.
