Hi All,

Do you have any Boofane's or know anyone that would sell any?

Otherwise, if you have any interesting caudiciforms for sale, please let me know!

Hi Glo,
hey do you want to enlighten me...
Caudiciforms I know about (barely), but pray tell what is a Boofane?

Got a pic of any of yours?

Calycium

Hey Cal,

Did you have a look at the link? Thanks PD. They are bulbs from South Africa. I've only know of 2 people that have them and they are not for sale Crying or Very sad

Caudicifoms are plants with a bulbous bottom

Ugly yet interesting plants!

Have a look at this guy, he is my Caudex idol.

Caudiciforms are the best. Bihrmann's site is my bible Wink

I have a heap of seedlings but all going into dormance now Sad

Momordica rostrata, different kedrostis, adansonia's, brachychiton, dioscorea, adeniums, ibervillea, coccinea and can't think what else.

Many more seeds to plant as well...........seems I can't help myself Laughing

Boophanes? From PD's link they look like a lily of some type? You say a bulb...scratch

Are they classed as a succulent? If not I don't see why you are requesting them here? Also if they aren't succulents (which I suspect they are not), I will have to ask you to remove the request.

Caudiciforms are fine though.
