Pachypodium (Succulent)

I've been out buying new plants for the garden.
This is called a Pachypodium. It has triple clusters of thorns and a crown of leaves.
In fact, this isn't a cactus, it's a succulent from Madagascar. There is something about Madagascar that makes it home to my favorite plants.









































This is aGymnocalycium Baldianum which is famous for its spectacular flowers. And another one with pink flowers.

This cute little ball is Mammillaria Duwei.

  1. Thanks /t. No danger here of bushfires reaching the suburbs. We do have a lot of smoke in the atmosphere.
