Pachypodium lamerei cristate, here's a newish plant, after repotting it tried rotting on one of the 'arms' that got bruised but luckily I seem to have cut the rot off in time.

I have had trouble with my portable hard drive that has/HAD all my images stored on & have lost some files, that will teach me to not back up regularly :evil: .

Does this count :?:

I spotted this cristate flower on one of my gymnos just after two perfectly normal flowers had finished.
