Adventures in Succulent Microscopy

Feeling Experimental? Well, this month we’re bringing you an entirely new program in the history of succulent-club programming! Russell Wagner will present “Adventures in succulent Microscopy,” a live endeavor to explore the microcosm available to anyone who owns a succulent plant and a small magnifier.

Here’s the deal: Russell will bring ten things to look at under the scope, and you, the audience, are tasked with bringing in at least one thing to show off under magnification: the subtle sheen of a plant’s skin, the tiny flowers of some rare bulb, an infestation of spider mite? You decide! Let’s discover together the beauties and horrors of the seeds and hairs, the petals and pustules, of our favorite plants. You’ll never look at your plants the same again! We may not have time to look at everything brought in, but we can get some ideas, at least, of where to begin.
