After the Welwitchias we went looking for the other monumental succulents in Namibia.
The first, and our near constant companion was Euphorbia virosa.
There are only a few pictures from each of the plant communities. None of these were rare in their locality.
Cyphostemma currori
From the same location
And miles away
Adenium boehmianium
The flowers look just like the ones on the plants growing in cultivation in California.
The plants are something else again
We can't this size and aged appearance in cultivation
Pachypodium lealii Each one a spectacular sculpture. These are not small plants.
A few Adansonia decaryi
Again for scale, and not near one of the larger plants. There is a person or the left.
There were lots more, Hoodias, Tavarasia, Aloes, and many many acacias that I'm just beginning to appreciate.
