A rare variegated form of the species. The caudex is variegated with yellow. 

Not to be confused with Adenium, a completely different genus. Actually succulent forms of the Passifloraceae or Passion Flower family, many Adenias form thick stems which endear them to caudiciform plant lovers. However, when young they little resemble the future finished product. Typical young venenata are tall and resemble an upside-down elongated carrot. The leaves are accompanied by thread-like tendrils which vine around any available object. The caudex thickens with age and can reach 6 feet in very old plants and the vine can go on for 30 feet or more, but can be trimmed to keep it manageable. Leaves are stellate and the flowers are tiny, green and dioecious. Native to central and eastern Africa.

Outstanding plants now considered a form of obesum. Thicker and squatter than most other forms, these beauties form an extra thick caudex with multiple fat branches. The flowers are pink with stripes in the throat.

*May not have leaves, in dormancy

These are seedlings. We can't guarantee the flowers will look like flowers but they have good genetics. Some plants may be starting their dormancy.

An Aechmea eurycorymbus hybrid from Bullis Bromeliads. Large growing with stiff green leaves. The inflorescence has clustered branches of yellow with red bracts and is very colorful. The inflorescence is long lasting and this is a good landscape plant. 

A possible hybrid from Bullis Bromeliads. Inflorescence is a yellow nidular bloom. The inflorescence lasts for 4 to 6 months in color.

Makes an outstanding landscape plant. A broad open rosette, 3 feet across with dull red 2 inch wide leaves.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

NO HOLDING - MUST SHIP IMMEDIATELY

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.
