| 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?
cheers, Calycium _________________ Ariocarpus rock! |

| 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
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 I have a heap of seedlings but all going into dormance now  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  _________________ Betty

| Boophanes? From PD's link they look like a lily of some type? You say a bulb... 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. _________________ mmm spikey... |
