                    [Summary] => 



In my last article, I talked about the Cactus and Succulent Society’s visit to world-renowned Chatuchak market to marvel at the beautiful plants available there on "Plant Day." The society members also had the chance to visit three of the best C&S nurseries around Bangkok.  For today’s column, I will feature one such visit, to possibly the largest commercial grower of C&S in Bangkok, Somphop Tantiveerakul’s Cactus House in Prasamutjedee, a suburb of Bangkok.

Fely also has probably the best bonsai collection in the country today. We had a wonderful afternoon touring and enjoying her garden of bonsai. Many of her specimens are award-winners, not just in the Philippines but also in Japan, the hub of bonsai itself. Also on display in her garden were some of her cacti and succulents.

                    [Summary] => It’s about time I wrote something about our local Cactus and Succulent Society. Organizations like this are great in fostering our beloved hobby, providing a forum for "great minds" to share not just their plants but also their experiences, techniques, do’s and don’ts, and other cultural secrets. The meetings also provide an avenue for members to simply socialize and enjoy each other’s company. This year is extra-special, as this marks the silver anniversary of the society.
