New loot -

Pixs ain't the best quality - took them right after potting them up - collection of pachys

Lighted rack they will all live on this winter

Jathropa

Sesamothamus rivae

Cussonia patalensis

Dioscorea hemicrypta

Pachypodium gracilius

P. breviculae

Uncarina came with flowers :)

Ahhhh - Trichadiadema bulbosum (I think)

Euphorbia bupleurifolia x suzannae

Sarcocaulon multifida

Tinospora caffra

Boophane disthica

Grafted p. brevicaule

There are more - but, pix came out too grainy - also more coming :-)

Someone had fun at the last ebay auction!! Great plants. That P. Brevicaule can be a tough one. Be real careful with the water. I love the Trichadidema Bulbosum is gorgeous. I will have to look at that next auction. I also love the Sarcocaulon. I am trying so hard not to buy more plants. Oh, what's 2 more.

LOL - this wasn't just the auction - this was a few nurseries thrown in as well - I ain't fighting the prices on eBay - only the first pix are from Out of Africa - they did have a Sarcocaulon for auction - ended up around $75.00 - a tad rich for a 3" plant - I ordered from Miles, Great Petaluma, Highland. Shoal Creek's and Grigsby's should be here within the week - how dry do you keep the Brevicaule?

All mine in soil died. I now have one that has been in s/h and IT'S ALIVE! It even flowered this summer. One of my greatest accomplishments. It doesn't like too much water, but will rot if it doesn't have enough water. Someone growing in soil can tell you better than myself. I will demonstrate the s/h method through pictures.

Very cool loot, Becky! Nice choices.

Good grief - picky plant!

Very nice Becky
I like the Jathropa, Cussonia patalensis and the Trichadiadema the best.
I have a list made up for miles heh.
Next $75.- hobby money I get goes there. ;)
Well done!

Hey, Becky, nice collection of plants!

Becky,
Wonderful stuff! Thanks for sharing. My favorite is Sarcocaulon. Did you get a new light stand as well? Space-wise, I can't handle more than a few new plants without getting rid of some old ones.

Becky,
Who did you get the Sarcocaulon from? That is really nice. Sally

Hiya again - the Sarcocaulon came from Highland - their plants are wonderful - good looking, healthy and great sizes - http://www.highlandsucculents.com/ - they have a great selection - even send you a "user manual" with the plants - most of them came potted

Susan - I bought the light-stand two years ago, originally for my Hoyas - which became for the C&S, which is now for the pachys :-) I am sure it will be full soon - it is nearly time to bring in the ones that live outside

I should never have gone to that link............
Im destined to remain poor now...........
Im so enamoured by the pachys its unbelievable.
Thanks Becky ;)

You are SOOOOOOOOOOOO welcome :-) Misery likes company - why should I be the only poor one around here :-)

ROFLOL! XP

What a loot!! I'm totally jealous!! Did you get them off ebay?
