Why do they look like that?

We’ll chat about “abnormalities” in succulents which can include:

• Cresting
• Monstrose growth
• Variegation
• Color varieties

We’ll have some plants for show and tell that exhibit these types of growth and chat about what can cause it, whether it’s permanent, and any other questions you might have. We’ll learn new terms like reversion and chat about struggles keeping these abnormalities alive.

Additionally, as always, we will have some really cool give-aways for the PEG raffle, which is available to all paid-up CACSS members (must be paid up through 2025!). These specialty raffles are a benefit of being a paid member of the CACSS, so be sure you have renewed your 2025 CACSS membership before the meeting (we will be verifying member status). Please remember to bring your CACSS Membership name tag (or proof of payment for 2025 dues).

As usual with PEG meetings, we encourage free discussion and contribution by attendees, so please come with any questions you may have.

Of course, we always welcome any guests/non-members of the society, and they are welcome to participate in the giveaways, but those guests won’t be eligible for the specialty raffles.

Remember: we are NOT able to take new memberships or renewals at any PEG meeting; however, you can sign up/renew online here and pay via PayPal and just show me your electronic receipt on your phone!

As always, please feel free to bring along any show-and-tell plants applicable to the topic at hand from your own collection! And, if you have any seedlings or plants related to the topic that you would like to donate to the free giveaways and/or raffles, please be sure to bring them too; feel free to contact me ahead of time if you are wondering if the plants you have would be a good addition.

If you have any questions in the interim, please contact me.
