If Jan Gaudi is not replying, here's his instagram and website: https://www.instagram.com/gaudiss_kabinet/ https://www.sobie.net/kabinet/gallery.html. I purchased a E. decayri off him a year ago or so. Perhaps it's a cutting from the big plant?

Oh it's been a long time since I looked at this and assumed it had been buried. Also, depression. Plants are happy but mostly sleeping. The decaryi has been repotted at this point into a large bowl and is spreading its legs nicely. I've also since expanded my general collection a fair bit and accrued some more Malagasy species as well.
A few photos from summer and now.

Great to hear from you RorBurg56. My collection is expanding. Just found a nursery in Florida-Paradise Found Nursery in Sarasota. They have a pretty large collection of mother plants of Madagascar plants. They grow them in large trays and let the seeds shatter and periodically they collect the young plants and pot them up for sale. I have a shipment expected any day now.

I also have some E. tulearensis seedlings still in the cotyledon leaf stage. I sowed on Dec 24 and I'm still seeing one or two germinating. First germination was Jan 5 or so.

Hey Jerry, yeah flor8da seems great for more of the exotic euphorbias and other heat loving/slightly more tropical succulents. I always see great seed offerings on ebay from a place in miami, they call themselves "exotic cactus collection" on ebay may have a different name irl. I've considered a purchase but the shipping is so expensive and Ive mostly stopped ordering from abroad due to cites related risks. Its a pity. Maybe florida is worth it for the plants despite the reputation for unhinged shenanigans (note: Im sure Florida is huge and parts of it are perfectly nice, quiet and normal, lol).

When I went to college in FL back in 1971, there were more cattle than people in the state. Huge ranches in the central Florida area. Some of those ranches still exist, but not to the same extent. Some are now State Parks. I don't know the current cattle to people ratio!!

That definitely contradicts the view many people seem to have of florida (including myself), that it is mostly full of palms, retirees, swamps/gators/huge snakes and the everpresent florida man. I suppose there is enough room for all that plus the cows though lol

The east coast is populated only along a narrow strip. Population is pushing into the central part. But the Everglades prevent building down south.
