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 Gasteria x Aloe hybrid, but the exact cross we do not know. About 5 inch rosettes are dark green with a gray wash, white spots with tubercles and whitish margins on the tapering leaves. Pretty, easy and a clumping plant.
A hybrid from Bill Baker. Compact growth from of glossy burgundy leaves that are recurved. Has distinct white marginal spines. The rosette is up to 8 inches across at maturity. Grows best in full sun.
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.
Known as the 'Sea Onion', a bizarre caudiciform from Southern and East Africa which grows bulb-like with a peeling green caudex which can reach about six inches in diameter. The seasonal 'foliage' is actually a filamentous vining inflorescence in the brightest shade of green. This can be trained onto a trellis or left to hang from a basket. Grow in partial shade in a well draining media.

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.

An attractive and bizarrely beautiful Euphorb from Madagascar. Thick, procumbent stems bear distinctive leaf scars and inch-long, succulent, very crisped or crinkled leaves. A very flat growing, mat forming shrub with an underground caudex. Flowers or cyathea are tan to pinkish. Light exposure will determine color which can range from deep green to pinkish brown. A superb plant for container culture or rock garden. Water about weekly in warm months and allow a drier rest during cooler periods. Propagate from seed or stem cuttings.
An unusual Haworthia for sure. This species has soft fleshy leaves 1/2 inch wide at the base tapering to a soft point. Leaves are about 2-3 inches long, forest green, and 3-sided with a dark purplish base. Keep on the drier side. This one can be tricky to grow.
