Nice plants.
One plant you might like is Phyllanthus mirabilis. A very nice caudex that will flip it leaves at dusk and opens them op again when it is light out again. One of my favourites I had sought out for a few years. Was happy I came along it at ELK a year ago.

Hi Aiko,
do you have a picture of that Phylantus mirabilis ?

Not all plants are in this overview yet, I also have a second Pachypodium bispinosum, a second Fockea edulis, Euphorbia horrida var. striata, Euphorbia aeruginosa, Ficus abutilifolia, Pachypodium lamerei,
and a very big Ipomoea bolusiana.

Hi phyllonemus,

Greetings from Amsterdam. Good to see a fellow Dutchmen who is also into caudex plants, just as I am. Maybe we can exchange lists of wants and have-extras sometime. Who knows we can help eachother out, and within the Netherlands it is easy to send whole plants. But maybe we should wait till spring
My caudex collection is only 10 plants or so for now, but I know a few good places in Amsterdam to get hold of rare specimens.

And may I say, what a beautiful colour on the petopentia!

Hello Harry
good to know that there is a
collector with the same interests nearby
I'm living in Amersfoort.

To me it's a good idea to exchange information about plants available in Amsterdam next Spring.

What plants do you have ?

[coldcactusmontreal]

Really nice, I really like those Euphorbias

[HairyHarry]

Hi Phyllonemus.
True caudiciforms: Jatropha, Adenium, Adenia, Fockea, Dioscorea, Sinningia, Tylecodon. And some of which one could debate it's caudex nature; bowiea, Nolina, Euphorbia, Haemanthus.

I should really introduce myself on this forum with a description of my collection, but to give you an idea; caudex as above, some 20 cacti, about 50-70 other succulents. And then some 100 plants that are not succulents.

Do you collect all Euphorbia, or just caudiciforms?

[phyllonemus]

Hi Harrie,
I am a true Euphorbia fan. I mainly collect Caudiciform Euphorbias and Caudex plants of the Apocynacae family (Pachypodium/Fockea/Raphionacme)

Not earlier mentioned I have also plants from the Nolinaceae family.

[HairyHarry]

Ok. Well, let's wait till spring and see if we can help eachother. Or if you want you can PM me your have-list, who knows I have other euphorbia with offsets that I can root for you over winter.
