    Glad to see I'm not the only one who is obsessive about caudiciforms!

    Your Dioscoreas are amazing! How old are they?

    Aeonium arboreum atropurpureum

    Aeoniums are probably my favorite plant. I've been thinking of moving out west to California for a few years to grow them in my garden. Also aloes.


    I've never been able to make them last more than a few months.

    How old is that Aeonium in your picture?

    The mother plant is about 15 years old. Mine is just over a year old. :-D

    A few new arrivals to the collection!

    Adenium Obesum

    Just a seedling at the moment but this will be beautiful when it's a bit older!

    Euphorbia Stellata

    [​IMG]

    Could someone ID this one for me? Picked it up in a garden centre but no one knew it's name!

    It's got very furry, succulent leaves.

    Was that a response to my ID request?

    I think you were looking at the wrong pic!

    It is a great plant though yes.

    Here's a mature one.

    Yes I fixed my post Joe. Sorry, silly me.

    Well, that is a killer Euphorbia Stellata . Me thinks me needs to go plant shopping again. Got that feeling now.

    Wow! Very interesting plants, Joe. I like the Ficus Ginseng in particular. Barb--yours are great too. The Dioscorea elephantipes is beautiful.

    I have a Kalanchoe and I don't think it is one. The leaves on the Kalanchoe are very shiny and rubbery.

    The leaves on this are very furry. No idea what it is!
