31466 DEAMIA TESTUDO CAC PRICE: $ 2.75 The easily grown "Dogtail Cactus" perfect for baskets as the ornately ribbed fat stem sections will create an impressive jumbled cascade in time. But if given the chance to climb, however, this rain forest tropical becomes an agressive scandent tropical vine. Sent as very easily rooted URCuttings in dry moss. If you can kill this, you deserve a distinguished medal from the International Brotherhood of the Brown Thumb.

60523 DIDIERIA MADAGASCARIENSIS DID HP TGH PRICE: $ 22.50Club-shaped central trunk studded with small spirally arranged cushions bearing a tuft of soft needle-leaves and rayed star thorns. Rare Madagascar cousins of the Alluaudias. Serious sculpture.

Bizarre epiphytic "Thruppence Ravioli Plant" of vining Hoya habit (and clusters of violet red fleshy blimp blossoms) clinging to any woody support; remarkable for odd swollen sac leaves like mussels or ravioli evolved to shelter ants. Perfect drainage, even humidity, and absolutely no exposure to chill are all imperative to grow this. If you cannot provide these conditions, expect the roots to rot immediately.

60706 DISCHIDIA SPECIES C-T #15 AES TGH HP PRICE: $ 22.50 Do not order at this time; we are sold out. Fat succulent leaves mimic slim green beans, thickly spaced on the sometimes fascinating stems. Attractively bizarre. Please: name this soon!

60325 ECHEVERIA BAINSEI RED CREST CRA CGH H PRICE: $ 7.25Wine red tipped paddle-shaped slim leaves in scalloped congregations atop the small statured undulating ridges of the wide-fanded stems.

66171 EPIPHYLLUM CINDY'S RED [HYB] CAC HP CGH PRICE: $ 5.75Thick stems support very large irridescent scarlet flowers. Sent as a mossed URCutting.

66024 EPIPHYLLUM CRENATUM CAC HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.75Cylindrical epiphytic stems with thick midnerve develop into thick flat waxy crenate "wings" irregularly notched and moulded. Large extravagantly fragrant blossoms, red, white, & ochre with yellow stamens; this likely is the cultivar known as `Chichicastenango,' from Guatemala. Certainly one of the most interesting species, as the art noveau designs of the wildly irregularly lobed thick flat stems are highly decorative in and of themselves. Send this to a friend who loves and needs symmetry and observe them gradually go mad. URCuttings in moss are typically sent.

66249 EPIPHYLLUM GRACE ANN [HYB] CAC HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.50Irridescent colors; best as a conservatory subject. Sent as a mossed URCutting.

The Various Spurges (EUPHORBIA) for the 2008 SEASON As we enjoy an international reputation for distinctive species & hybrids of the Madagascar "Crown of Thorns" complex, and as as many are too limited in stock to list individually below, we offer you an introduction to their diversity with the CROWN OF THORNS COLLECTION under Stock #99697 for 5 plants at PRICE: $17.50. This collection can include some of the dwarf species in this group of plants, like Euphorbia francoisii to add to the diversity of this collection. This group is for the collector of oddities and visual diversities. If you want particular hybrids or species, be sure to order them individually with their stock numbers; because we gather this selection separately from the best plants available on the week they are mailed and thus the plants are completely our selections in order to maintain this dashingly low introductory price.. Or, with Stock #99024 order 10 "Why Not Spurge?" plants as the TROPICAL EUPHORBIAS COLLECTION for only PRICE: $38.00, for a range of species, odd and unusual hybrids, and possibly even including a cousin Monadenim or Synadenium. This will give an introduction to the sheer range of this most excellent genus (does not include any winter hardy temperate zone types).

67548 EUPHORBIA AMBOVOMBENSIS EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 25.00 Madagascar beauty of compact habit: scalloped laquered deep green leaves with ruffled edges layered over a central caudex. Always beautiful, especially when presented in a small low bonsai pot.

67287 EUPHORBIA BEHARENSIS EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 Smooth reddish or gray spiny stems branch to form interlocking shrubs with dusky bracted "Crown of Thorns" type cyathea--an Alluaudia mimic of Madagascar.

67514 EUPHORBIA BEHARENSIS CRANBERRY COWBOY [HYB] EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.25 A Massara "Crown of Thorns" hybrid with E. milii bosseri producing a remarkable closely packed vase-shaped thicket of heavily spined richly toned stems studded with many very showy red-carmine cyathophylls clearly on the blue side of red (no orange): a major blossom color breakthrough! The eventual habit is also quite elegant as forms a vertical cluster of stunning stems arching outward at the apex to suggest the dimensions of a large vase. Always outstanding--plant show competition judges seem to agree.

67013 EUPHORBIA BOUGHEYI EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.25 Curious wavy flat stems wave and dip; effective in baskets. With maturity, a woody trunk develops from the base creating a living sculpture. Mozambique's "Ribbon Spurge" does not demand full sun, preferring broken light as the skin can scar if watered midday in scorching sun.

67014 EUPHORBIA BRACHIATA [HORT] EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.75 "Mini-Pencil Cactus" Spineless beautiful, much-divided slim pencil branches creating a compact woody thicket. Also known as E. intisy. With time, this sophisticated species can achieve considerable dimensions, yet will always maintain more intricate, more intensely intersticed stems and stemlets than the open growing habit found in the similar, but big boned, E. tirucalli. We also find this much more successful than other "Pencil" types as a companion plant in combination planting designs due to a much finer and more intensely branched habit.

67023 EUPHORBIA AMMAK VARIEGATA EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 27.50 "Ammak Euphorbia" The entire surface is overlaid a creamy rich white chocolate; splashy specimen for any speciality collection--for unclear reasons, called "Ammak" in California.

67081 EUPHORBIA DECARYII DECARYII [NOVA] EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.00 Formerly offered as Euph.`Hummel Clone.' Both the stubby stem and the thick leaves are sugary rine-gray. Larger statured than E.d. spirosticha. Handsome in small bonsai pot.

Very impressive for amount of blossoms produced throughout the seasons and for ability to withstand somewhat exposed conditions.

67089 EUPHORBIA FLANAGANII CRISTATA--BODY CREST EUP PRICE: $ 20.00 "Smiling Spurge" The central caudex is fasciated; odd thick ever increasing crest eventually swells into unpredictable crescents & loops.

67091 EUPHORBIA FRANCOISII EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 6.50 Low, nearly prostrate Madagascar species with tiny white ranks of soft spines on stubby stems topped with wildly varied thick leaves from silver to emerald to pink, shaped like diamond or violins or terete sabers, or fairy javelins--often sequential rubbery leaves can vary remarkably; cyathiums range from green to pink to yellow. Certainly the most popular (and shamelessly easy to grow) of the dwarf Madagascar tribe, a number of customers have added more and more of the endlessly varied leaf forms and leaf colors to a lite garden (in which conditions the jade like waxy leaves develop astounding color saturation), to a windowsill collection (which, like the Haworthia collections) begins to look like a foliar version of a glass paperweight assemblage, or to an array of equisite low jade foliaged mounds of theme and variation in the hobby greenhouse. One of the few Euphorbia species quite at home in a terrarium. Best colors when protected from searing sunlight levels.

61002 EUPHORBIA GEROLDII EUP HP TGH CGH PRICE: $ 8.75 "Everblooming Spurge" Elegant upright branching stems are cloaked with dark toned rubbery leaves perfectly framing the rich red cyathophylls (the "blossoms") which are produced with full light, even warmth, and good fertilizer.

66796 EUPHORBIA HETEROPHYLLA YOKOI'S WHITE EUP TGH PRICE: $ 10.00 The poinsettia shaped leaves are richly margined with cream; totally perfect when paired with the annual speckled red bracts appearing early fall. From Dr. Masato Yokoi's find in Okinawa in 1989--need to re-root regularly to prevent the urge to be an annual! Not technically a succulent, but too remarkable not to mention here.

67127 EUPHORBIA KNUTHII EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 4.50 Very attractive gnarled caudex toped with a skirt of angled cascading stems with gray-green central stripes. Very easy to grow.

While this Massara creation's habit may be disconcerting to some, it does lend itself admirably to forming a skirt when planted with a more upright type.

67755 EUPHORBIA MILII DEAD MILKMEN [HYB] EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.00 Slim spiny trunks with dusky pink to buff apricot flowers. Makes a great punk succulent bonsai. Blame Kip Traughber for the name. Both the "Crown of Thorns" and Kip remain reprobates.

67445 EUPHORBIA MILII IMPERATAE VARIEGATA EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 22.00 Red elongated small cyathophylls punctuate the very lovely variegated foliage: each small pert leaf displays a dramatic bright creamy gold margin; short stubby stems grow slowly.

67159 EUPHORBIA MILII LAQUER CHERRY [HYB] EUP PRICE: $ 6.00 Large lipstick pink glossy cyathophylls, often slightly puckered, on nearly everblooming hybrid; large stems. Most dependable of the giant "Crown of Thorns" hybrids for bloom in less than ideal conditions.
