A cliff dwelling lithophyte native to the Chihuahuan Desert, our plants are from seed collected in Sta. Catarina, Nuevo Leon. Sometimes called the octopus Agave, because of its sinuous and curled, spineless, narrow leaves. An unusual aspect of this species is that it does not immediately die like most Agave species, after flowering. Eventually forms clusters of plants, attractive with their pale green leaves. Suited for full sun to partial shade. Needs good drainage.

For lovers of weird, a nearly leafless, shrub-like member of the Didiereaceae that can reach nearly 10 feet tall but grows in a rather haphazard clump of tangled branches.  The cylindrical stems are kind of olive green with silver tricomes and bears scattered conical spines which are stout but not ‘dangerous’. 

Native to southern coastal Madagascar in the regions of the thorn forest from near sea level to almost 1,000 feet. A dioecious species that requires both sexes to set seed, but is easily propagated from cuttings.  Reportedly slow growing but we do not find this to be especially true.  Best grown in full sun to partial shade, well drained soils and moderate watering. Protect from freezing.

A native to Southern Madagascar. Alluaudia humbertii is a deciduous, succulent, small tree or large shrub native to semi-arid scrubland and thorn forests. Mature plants can reach 16-20 feet tall and equally as wide with a stout trunk and freely branched habit. The slender branches have thin, grey bark, range in form from procumbent to arched to upright, and are covered in spines reaching 0.75" long. Small, rounded, succulent leaves reaching 0.75" in diameter emerge from the branches during the rainy season and are dropped by the plant during the dry season.

A cute hybrid of two miniature species.  Tiny, barely reaching three inches across, clump forming with triangular leaves coated on all surfaces with small conical spines.  The inflorescence is a 12 inch scape with a cluster of pink-orange to orange-red flowers.  Very hardy to drought, some cold, and basic neglect.  Great for dish gardens and even suited for dry terrariums.  It was developed by John Bleck, crossing to species native to Madagascar.

A smaller hybrid that has decorative foliage, large teeth that are not sharp but are more rubbery, tapering, triangular leaves to about 3 inches long and a procumbent habit. The foliage is green, but blushes orange to red in strong light. The inflorescence bears red flowers. A choice plant, easy to grow.

A nicely variegated form of this compact growing, wide leaved species that forms rosettes of many leaves, up to 10 to 12 inches in diameter. The plants have green leaves with white spines, and bold golden yellow to bright white variegation. This species is thought by some to be a hybrid between Aloe mitriformis or distans and possibly brevifolia. A clustering plant suitable for landscape and is noted to be somewhat frost tolerant. Reddish orange flowers on two foot tall spikes emerge in summer, creating a spectacular show.

This is a hybrid that happened accidentally at our nursery. One day our former succulent grower saw some migrating finches visiting the Aloe vaombe and saponarias which were in bloom. Many went from plant to plant several times, either way, they are nice and vigorous and will probably grow large.
