Spring Sale - Plants

Next Friday evening, May 9 and Saturday May 10 is the spring sale at Xiem.  Below are some of the plants I''ll be bringing.  There are about 20 total.  This is just a few.

Cyphostemma 'Fat Bastard'

The pot is about 8 1/2 inches in diameter to give a sense of scale.  It is in mid flower, with little drops of nectar apperaring on the stem.

Drimiopsis dolmiticus

This summer growing bulb is a South African native. The pot is 4 inches across, and the leaves will fill the pot by July, assuming whoever buys it remembers to water it.

Fockea edulis

I grow these by the dozen with three in show pots and some in sale pots.  A wonderful plant that keeps ongiving.  Every one is different.

Pachypodium succulentum/bicolor hybrid

Like the Fockea, this is a plant that keeps on giving.  I've crossed and recrossed generations of these for good caudex growth.  The flowers are different on every clone.

A Dyckia hybrid

It's greener than I would like right now, but it will turn white quickly with the warmer weather.

Bowiea volubilis

Another great South African plant, always a good seller at the sale.  It is in a 5 ich pot.
