Varied collection of succulents but I especially like Euphorbia's, Apocynaceae and Cucurbitaceae.

Re: My Euphorbia and Caudex Blog
Wow, that Boophone is big! Puts my tiny little seedlings to shame. Are any of these plants habitat collected?

Re: My Euphorbia and Caudex Blog
Are Cyphostemma and Kedrostis dioecious plants ?

Re: My Euphorbia and Caudex Blog
Hmm... I would request that you try to avoid buying habitat-collected plants in future. It's a very destructive process. I'm sure others would agree with me too.
A lot of cucurbits are dioecious, so I'd guess that Kedrostris is, but I'm not sure about Cyphostemma.

I believe everybody will agree that buying habitat collected plants is very sad. Anyone in their right mind can see that.
