Hey garden geeks, I'd like to announce the San Francisco Succulent & Cactus Society's & The Bromeliad Society's of San Francisco Annual Show and Sale. If you're unfamiliar with the range of Succulents and Cactus and how you can use them in your garden, let me introduce you to a few of them by way of some amazing photographs taken by Cactus and Succulent lover Michael Buckner of The Plant Man Nursery in San Diego Ca.
