We grew these Euphorbia tulearensis from seed that Gary James gave us
They are about 12 years old now
I have them staged in small pots for maximum effect

We get seed most years to grow new ones as fast we can

Albuca unifolia x scabrocostatum
I intentionally crossed 2 Albuca unifolias,
but for some reason the only seeds that were produced are a cross with my single A. scabrocostatum.
They are cool, fat and fast growing, I wonder what they will look like in a couple years?
Maybe a cross back with A. scabrocostatum would be a good plant.

Lachenalia kliprandensis might be a good guess.

That took a lot longer than expected..
Finished! Would love to see more stapeliads. Do you grow any large and spiny euphorbia?

Funny you should ask about those plants...
my wife grows them!

I call her side of the green house the leafy side, because she grows all the other stuff that I don't grow
Cyphostemmas, gangly Euphorbias, stick plants, Decarya, Aloes, Agaves, and other fat stem leafy things.

She had a big stapeliad collection, but she neglected it during the winter and big portions would die,
so we gave it to Ed Reed at CSUF, since he was just getting into them.

Back for another installment of what's new

I do grow a bunch of small stapeliads

This Piaranthus foetidus put on quite a stink fest
It's annoying musty stink, not the usual carrion
