I was poking around yesterday looking to see if by chance one of the Oxalis triangularis survived the winter-sure enough!-

One of Garry's(coldplant) Princeps-never found the SFH trait
to be common in this Trachy(At All!) but 2 of them have kinked trunks.

I used to be REALLY into Pachycaul about 30 years ago
and had an award winning collection-it was only a matter of time...

Starting small.
These are still a little smashed from their trip.

2 on the ends are P.Mikea,similar to the branched P.Lamerii,pictured.

The bigger(flowering one) is Adenium Obesum "Dark/Black soldier"

Wow love that Adenium...mine's got a nicer bum than yours

You've already got a huge Pachypodium lamerei.
Mine's rotting near the top
Nice to see you're getting back into a much-loved species.

Thrilled to see how your palms are coming back gangbusters, Jim.

And that bamboo oughta be over in your neighbour's house in...oh....about two weeks.

Great shots, Jim! Did you protect the Callas?

Nice update Jim........your colorguard looks like it lost most of its variegation

Yes, you must dig it out and divide a color plant off a green one. I have my Yucca filamentosa 'Golden Sword' with a green plant starting overgrowing a variegated one. I'll try make a pic of these two plants tomorrow.

Thanks guys-the Colorguard was stressed by being moved next to the tree.

It was all variegated at one time and may be again in summer sun.
