An interesting Dorstenia with olive green foliage with distinct white veining. The juvenile leaves are round to oval but then grown out the adult leaves become elongated.

The ‘Turtle Plant’ of Mexico has a deeply sculpted caudex resembling a turtle shell. A forest-dweller that lives on sparse, thin forest soils, producing a deciduous vine with large ovate leaves. The sculpted caudex has raised pyramids of old ‘bark’ that increase in size with age. It can attain a large size of over 24 inches, but big plants are rare in cultivation and are much sought as a curiosity. We produce seedlings from our own stock plants.

NO HOLDING - PLANTS MUST BE SHIPPED IMMEDIATELY

A desert dwelling succulent from southwestern Africa. A most unusual and decorative succulent consisting of long, fine, trailing, stems that hang in cascades, lined with evenly spaced, perfectly spherical ‘leaves’. Exactly like a real ‘string of pearls!’ Prolific, it likes bright filtered light to medium shade and light watering when the soil begins to dry.

THIS PLANT IS ON C.I.T.E.S. AND CANNOT BE EXPORTED

A woody shrub-like spineless Euphorbia from southern Madagascar, which forms a silver-barked trunk and full crown of branches with narrow dark green/gray leaves.

Most amazing is the size of the caudex it ultimately makes, a gourd-like, woody main root up to 6 inches thick which can be elevated above the soil. Makes a great succulent bonsai subject.

An especially attractive form of L. cruciforme with pretty pink flowers that we obtained originally from the collection of the Marie Selby Botanical Garden. Native to Southeastern Brazil down to Paraguay and Argentina and is found most commonly on rocks and as an epiphyte in trees. Variable in color with flowers from white to greenish and pink to magenta. This form is pink flowered, which seems to be on the rarer side. Foliage is ribbed or angled, about 3/8th to 1/2 inch wide and straight, not spiraled. The color is mostly green but will blush red when stressed by bright light or by withholding food or water.

CITES plant, no export.

This ‘other worldly’ curiosity is a fig relative from Tanzania and is a larger grower than most other Dorstenia species, reaching well over 12 inches. The trunk is swollen and knobby with many side branches. The bright green leaves are rather long, arching and cupped. The ‘flowers’ are hand-like structures called hypanthodiums and look like green sunflowers. Very popular, easy to cultivate species.

A procumbent, shrub-like Euphorbia with a surprisingly ample caudex. The plant is a low grower with pencil thick branches bearing tiny spines. When in leaf, the foliage is oblong, with wavy margins and slightly pubescent. The cyathea vary from chartreuse to tan or pinkish-red. The caudex will form underground but can be elevated above the soil. It gets quite thick, to about 2 inches in time. Native to the area of Tongobory in southeastern Madagascar.
