Pachypodium rosulatum in Bloom

I'm hoping this plant starts to fatten up this year - but for now, it is pushing out wonderful flowers!

Pachypodium rosulatum Update

I got this plant from Perla last year.  It was in flower when I bought it and it is in flower again!

I'm hoping it starts getting fat this year!

Adenium obesum and Pachypodium rosulatum

Adenium obesum 'Pluto' Pachypodium rosulatum

Around the Garden - April 1, 2017

I'm going to start posting in this format some of the time - just random pictures from the quick walk arounds. Today's focus: flowers! I'll still do the more in depth look at individual plants, but sometimes just throwing them together is good enough.

March CSSH Meeting

Noe and La are a little disappointed that the program wasn't focused on Adeniums (because they missed a flute ensemble for this meeting). And we didn't pick up anything from the raffle (both the plants we were looking at got picked before our numbers were called). BUT I was able to purchase a really nice Pachypodium rosulatum from Perla. Here are a couple of pictures from this morning. I'm pretty stoked as this species is one of the most visually pleasing of all the Pachypodiums. Dr. Fitch brought in a Hydnophytum formicarum and two seedlings from it (AWESOME), as well as their Pachypodium brevicaule. And Noe and Marlon tried their hand at something new - selling some of the plants we've been growing in the back yard. They managed to sell a quarter of what we brought in, and we put another quarter up on the raffle table. Good experience for them (despite the enthusiastic look Noe has).
