I love the detail and time you took into making this! I found it hilarious you kept saying you had to hurry up but the video kept going for another hour 30 minutes 😂. Congrats on the ribbons!
Ha! As I was editing and watching back I was also laughing at the number of times I said "I need to hurry up!" and then kept stopping to look at all the plants LOL. I really underestimated the amount of time I needed!
Thanks for introducing me to the competition! I had no Idea this existed but why not! I was entertained by your detailed coverage of each plant and category!
Top notch! Thank u for the awesome content u work on so diligently for all to enjoy. Your vids are the itch scratcher between purchases but also the allure to make more of them 😅 🌵Thanks again! 🌵
Ha! I feel the same when I watch cactus videos on UA-cam - it's simultaneously satisfying yet also makes me desire more plants LOL. I'm so glad you enjoyed seeing the show and sale with me virtually, Angel! I hope you can check it out in person in the future!
Me too! It's so much fun to see how folks stage their plants. It's also so much fun to see the owners of the plants at the end of the show when everyone is picking up their plants. Fun all around!
This was a great video! What a treat to see it all. Thank you for all the work it took. Your narration was perfect. Congratulations on your ribbons! Looking forward to the haul. 🌵💚
Thank you so much, Mari! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and my narration with lots and lots of mis-pronunciations. As I was editing, I was like omg so many mistakes! 😂😂😂
Congratulations on your ribbons. The plants in this show are so impressive. Thank you for making this video. I live in Florida and would never get the chance to see a show like this in person no less have the opportunity to purchase them.
Thank you so much! I'm already starting to think about what I'd like to enter into next year's show 😁 And I'm so glad you enjoyed walking through this show and sale with me!
Yes! Come to the show next year, James! I heard this show is much smaller than Inner City in southern California but it also means it's much easier to navigate, less crowded, which is very nice too.
@@cookiescacti Your's looks bigger than ours. I'm in Northern California so we have several shows in our area AND our San Jose Society has our show and sale April 28-30.
@@JamesEndoSanJoseCARealEstate1 ohhh! I hope I can attend those shows some day! It would be so fun to see what different shows are like in different regions. I bet there will be some hard-to-resist plants at the sale...
LOVE THIS! Thank you; all the patience to do this. Love that it's long. I have to watch it in parts . . . for several reason but truly appreciate the time you took to put this up. PEACE from Montana
Even I had to watch back in parts, intermissions necessary! It's almost as long as a full feature film! I'm super happy that you enjoyed the video, thank you so much for taking the time to let me know 😊
Are you in CACSS, Sam? Or you must know Cliff 😂😂😂 I went to his open garden last year, holy smokes! I still revisit the pictures I took from time to time
Thank you so much, Vincent! I'm just so glad that there are folks out there who enjoy cactus and succulents as much as I do. I've got the haul recorded, just need to find some time to edit 😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! Thank goodness this audience seems to prefer long videos lol. This video along with all my pre-September videos were shot with a Panasonic HC-V180 which I bought years ago never knowing that I would eventually use it for cactus videos. I use the built-in mic since this camera has no feature to plug in an external mic. Super low tech. As of September this year I got a GoPro and have been using it for videos where I'm walking around and moving a lot since it does a much better job with stability without a gimble nor editing software post-processing. I have a 20 year old wired mic that I plug into the media mod accessory. Hope this helps!
I love how you showcased this even with the aloe/haworthia hate 👀 (im kidding lol). Good camera quality and narration 💚Some people use potato quality cameras and even try to zoom sometimes 😩
Lololol 😂😂😂 ha! Thank you for this note! I'm glad you found my commentary okay, I was hoping ppl didn't find it annoying. If I keep this UA-cam thing up maybe I'll upgrade my camera and editing software someday so can't blame them for poor quality lololol
Thank you so much, Jodi! Every attendee gets a bean when they enter the show and you place the bean into the cup of your favorite plant in the show. So it's a people's choice voting system. I had exactly the same questions when I saw the cups!
You're right! I didn't see a division dedicated to grafted plants. I think the rule is that you have to indicate if the plant is grafted on the entry slip.
This is a great video. Thank you for the trip through the show.
I'm so glad you enjoyed seeing the show! I'm hoping to be able to capture the 2024 show on video this year too.
Thank you so much. You put a lot of work into that video. It was great.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video - enjoyed the whole thing! 😊

Beautiful video, complete, you have made me fall in love with ferocactus again, thank you for these cool videos.🌵🌵🌵

Thanks! for sharing. I didn't realized how many different varieties there are.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this walk through of the show and sale! I didn't know there were so many varieties either, so much fun
damn those are some *fine cacti*
Aren't they amazing?? So much fun to see these shows!
I absolutely loved this video. Thank you! Congratulations on winning so many ribbons!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! It was very fun to record as I mumbled to the camera the entire time 😂
Congrats on the ribbons! You've only just begun!
Thank you, Terry! The ribbons certainly give some encouragement to keep going!
Thank you so much for sharing! ❤
You're very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video of the show and sale. I can't wait for the next one 😊
I enjoyed seeing how the plants are styled for their show competition.
Me too! It's so much fun to see how folks stage their plants. It's also so much fun to see the owners of the plants at the end of the show when everyone is picking up their plants. Fun all around!
AWESOME!
Can't wait for next year's event!
Awesome, thanks!
You're very welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video
Thanks so much for this, selection was incredible.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this one, Tom! The plant variety was drool worthy 😁
Thank you for your time and such great video. Greetings for Arizona's cactus enthusiasts. I can't wait for your plants on such show :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed this tour of the show and sale! It was so much fun! Hopefully we get to do it again next year.

I love your video. I was in the show for 4 days and I certainly didn’t see all this closeup! Thanks for doing it. Oh, I also l love Veronica’s pots!
I'm so glad you enjoyed this video even having been at the show the whole time! It was so much fun! I agree - Veronika's pots are gems 💎

Thank you for the video Jenny. I would definitely put a bean in your E. bokei cup.
Best regards,

Your virtual bean counts in my book, Nino 😊
I love a good cac ❤
We 💚 cactus
Wow! Incredible show and specimens! I gotta go to this show next year! Thanks for the wonderful video.❤🌵🌺
Yes! Come to the show next year, James! I heard this show is much smaller than Inner City in southern California but it also means it's much easier to navigate, less crowded, which is very nice too.

Yes! Come visit Arizona! Cactus galore 😁

Thank you! 😁💚
Congratulations on your entries. Some stunning examples. I think your Ariocarpus Fissuratus in the Thompsons clayworks pot was top notch.
Aww shucks, Andy. Thank you so much for the kind words 🙏💚
@@cookiescacti ❤
It was great❤❤❤
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
💚😃👍👍
So much fun!
I saw my astrophytum that was in flower! It was such a great show!
Hi Bryan! I think I saw your name on a bunch of slips! It was so much fun... Almost too much fun
@17:37 "lithops collection from Cliff....of course....wow" had me laughing so hard 🤣

so cool i like

wonderful video! such a service towards people who aren't able to attend❤ what was your haul? hehe
Thank you so much, Vincent! I'm just so glad that there are folks out there who enjoy cactus and succulents as much as I do. I've got the haul recorded, just need to find some time to edit 😊
Lo e the Super Kabutum. On my wish list!
Such a beautiful plant, I agree!
Thanks for the extensive video. What cameras and audio systems do you use to video record your vlogs and YT channel?

Question....
Why is there a little cup by each plant?
Thank you so much, Jodi! Every attendee gets a bean when they enter the show and you place the bean into the cup of your favorite plant in the show. So it's a people's choice voting system. I had exactly the same questions when I saw the cups!
I feel relaxed, How Amazing!
I'm so glad you find the video relaxing - that's the best! The show this year is only about 6 weeks away.....
👀❤🤩👍👍💨💨
😁😁😁💚💚💚🌵🌵🌵
Astro Fight'em!
Ha! Love this!
The grafted plants don't have their own category?
You're right! I didn't see a division dedicated to grafted plants. I think the rule is that you have to indicate if the plant is grafted on the entry slip.
Whts there in those white cups?
There are beans in the white cups. It's a voting system for people's choice. Every attendee gets a bean to put in the cup of their favorite plant.
I have sacculent plants and how to purchase
Some of the vendors featured sell online. Some you have to contact through Instagram and others I don't think have an online method to sell.
Here we go its a long one so caffee ready and kids are off playing with mates so should be safe to press play and enjoy
I hope you liked it, Anders! It's a long one!
@@cookiescacti i loved it and may have to give it an extra look, i see the big 2k is getting closer every day
@@cookiescacti allmost 2k then but allready close to 3k so update on the 1k plants soon? Plz
