Wow Nick,
What super photo's (tu) ,lovely plants I am jealous :mrgreen: - thanks for posting, can we have some more please. How long were you on the trip.#Those pachpodiums look great and Cyphostemma- why do I bother growing them .
I even have the Euphorbia & didn't realise it grows into a bush.
Really I must be torturing my plants trying to grow them in not so sunny Mk.
With the p.previcaule, what was habitat like for moisture, do they get mists or normal water from rain, I think someone said there was water from floods/underground springs but probably wrong.

varied collection of succulents and cacti but I especially like Euphorbia's, Ariocarpus and variegated agaves.

As far as I know the P.brevicaule get annual rains. We were there just before the rains were due to arrive and it was hot and dry as a bone.
