A small and very decorative species with light green, red ‘tiger striped’ leaves. The leaves are in alternating, opposite pairs, are rather oblong with somewhat crenate margins. Stays fairly compact until it gets ready to bloom, when it has a growth spurt before sending up a many branched, feathery inflorescence from each stem. The flowers are purple, but tiny.

Senecio peregrinus is popularly known as the 'String of Dolphins' plant. Although constantly labelled as a species, this plant is really a hybrid between Senecio rowleyanus 'String of Pearls' and Senecio articulatus. The leaves are curved with two points midway down the leaf which gives the appearance of a dolphin. This plant has a pendant, trailing habit with white flowers from May to June. 

This plant prefers bright filtered light, keeping it on the dry side. If the temperature drops below 50 degrees, bring it inside! It is not cold hardy. 

A unique addition to any succulent collection.

An interesting and rather rare species from Madagascar, with a tall and straight trunk bearing rows of sharp but short spines. The foliage is restricted to the top of the plant where it grows in a crown of wide green leaves, resembling a little palm.

Greenish flowers are borne on a cluster of compound branches at the crown. Younger specimens tend to be unbranched but branching does occur with maturity.

Spontaneous or accidental Euphorbia hybrids that appear as ‘weeds’ on our benches. Variable in size, shape and character, but are all nice. Most have Euphorbia milii as one parent and have spiny, branching stems, narrow to rounded leaves and red to orange or green flowers.

Many form thick, gnarled trunks desirable for bonsai culture, and there have been some caudiciforms among them. No two alike.

A succulent perennial shrub-let with stems that become woody with age. Size tends to be about 18 to 24 inches in cultivation but can reach over three feet in the wild. Leaves are succulent with a coating of short hairs. Leaves and flowers are aromatic. Native to East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula area, growing in dry, Acacia scrub and rocky soils.

Widely used as a medicinal plant for throat and stomach ailments. The root is edible when cooked. The plant is a source of thymol. Flowers are purple and somewhat decorative. Cultivation is easy and propagation is by seed or stem cuttings.

A cute little caudiciform species from Madagascar. In nature it forms an elongate, subterranean tuber/caudex which in cultivation is normally kept elevated above the soil line. The foliage is attractive, large oblong leaves are deep green with pale green to whitish mottled patterns down both sides of the midrib. The leaf undersides are purplish. Flowers are pale tan to pinkish. An easy species to grow that enjoys partial shade and limited watering, especially in winter.

A striking dwarf form of Sansevieria cylindrica v. patula that sported in an Indonesian collection. A superb form with short, thick, cylindrical leaves in a palmate configuration only about 12 inches across. Really nice, it has a matte, light green coloration with darker green cross banding. A great pot plant that will form tight clusters in time.

A small growing novelty formerly known as Scilla crispa, from the northernmost province of South Africa; Limpopo, which borders Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. Native to open, arid grasslands especially on exposed rocky outcrops. The species is quite tiny, mature at only a few inches at most with narrow, “crisped” or extremely wavy leaf margins. The bulb is naturally below grade but it is strongly recommended to elevate it above ground when repotting to avoid rot in the dormant season. The flowers, borne on a short scape, are purplish.

This is a choice caudiciform from Madagascar which forms a globular caudex with thick, snaking branches. The purplish-green foliage is terete, or ‘worm-like’ just over an inch long, and concentrated at the tips of the branches. A slow grower, but real nice. The caudex is subterranean but can be elevated to the surface. One of the choicest and easiest of the caudex plants to grow.
