65010 ALOE BAKERI lil hp tgh $ 5.00 Very compact, multibranched Madagascar native with slim, spotted leaves, with creamy soft-spined margins, interweaving to form mini-thickets; yellow apricot flowers with green rims appear during late fall. Excellent windowsill or dish garden subject; very successful under light where leaves typically become suffused with red.

60262 CRASSULA MULTICAVA CRA HP TGH $ 3.50 Pairs of wide flat oval hazy green lvs peppered and dimpled in purple-red on thick stems; mid-winter masses of starry pinkish-white blossoms sometimes in such numbers to often topple these pinkish stems, thus the "Fairy Crassula" in European trade. Very reliable mid-winter blossom sprays are hopelessly charming.

60389 KALANCHOE FEDTSCHENKOI CRA HP CGH $ 1.75 "Purple Scallops" Amethyst, flour-dusted scalloped leaves are margined purple with brownish notches producing adventitious buds in sufficient light and humidity; elegant terminal clusters of pendant khaki-pink flowers appearing late winter. Madagascar native. Very attractive; easily grown given good light.

60394 KALANCHOE HOUGHTONII [HYB] CRA HP TGH $ 2.75 Also K. poincarei. "Good Luck Plant" A hybrid "Life Plant" of daigremontiana x tubiflora with tan-pink channeled slim lvs (distinctly wider and flatter than tubiflora) with purple designs and toothed margins producing many adventitious plantlets. Easy favorite with very showy rigid umbles of down turned blossoms mid-winter. Certainly the easiest "Life Plant" to grow.

60407 KALANCHOE OBTUSA CRA HP TGH $ 6.75 Attractive broad succulent lvs on very short stems beautifully accent and frame the hemispheres of upfacing brick-red flowers. Attractive compact bouquet from Tanzania. Marvelous tuffet outline gradually branching with time; certainly the most flower power for the foliar size and thus astoundingly popular both as an indoor windowsill potplant blooming midwinter when bright flowers are most needed, and as a petite compact greenhouse subject. Not to be confused with the taller stalked blossfeldiana crew with their smaller flower clusters.

60410 KALANCHOE PINNATA CRA HP TGH $ 3.50 "Air Plant" or "Miracle Leaf" Most famous "Bryophyllum" for the notched lvs produce clinging adventitious plantlets even when wrenched from the stout stems and pinned to a curtain. (And if you remember those ads and drawings in the Sunday paper, you have dated yourself considerably.) Native to an astounding range geographically--Americas, Australia, Asia, Africa, etc. Forms a handsome upright succulent subshrub with curious winter flowers; a basic houseplant from Victorian times, still in demand today by kids of all ages.

60409 KALANCHOE PROLIFERA CRA HP TGH $4.75 "Blooming Boxes" Maroon-rimmed stout rubbery fishbone lvs rigidly ranked on handsome erect trunks; terminal infl of yellow flowers, each peeping from a bizarre dangling four-sided box-like bract, followed by a "proliferation" of plantlets. Madagascar native with the "Byrophyllum" urge--but adventituous plantlets form more typically on the ripe inflorescence rather than on the ridged edges of the succulent leaves ( this species must have seen a slide show of Agaves somewhere along the line). Rather curiously, this rubbery, extremely handsome, sculpture has become quite popular as an addition to summertime urns as an accent plant in recent years. If planted directly in your greenhouse's floor, this gentle giant can easily top eight feet by the time its enormous candelabra of blossoms crowns the succulent trunk.

60427 KALANCHOE TUBIFLORA [DELAGOENSIS] CRA HP TGH $ 2.75 "Hollywood Palm" or "Chandelier Plant" Erect pinkish stems thickly hung with pendant cylindric dark lvs spotted reddish brown and emerald and tipped with notches nurturing bundles of plantlets; pale red bellflowers pendant mid winter from elaborate terminal inflorescence. Madagascar native. The second photo is not good, but it shows the flowers.

67331 MONADENIUM COCCINEUM EUP HP TGH $ 4.75 "Masai Spurge" slender angled stems with scarlet to pink showy cymes--these bright hooded fls open near thanksgiving and still are colorful at Easter! The serrate-edged keeled lvs are deciduous. Popular.

60534 PACHYPODIUM SAUNDERSII APO HP TGH $ 12.50 "Star of Lundi" Thick clubfoot caudiform bases--smooth bark of silver-gray--taper to branches covered with spur shoots covered with deciduous deep green lvs, each flanked with needle-like spines; white flared blossoms. South Africa. Ask about our specimen size plants.

67357 PEDILANTHUS TITHYMALOIDES VARIEGATUS EUP HP TGH $ 5.00 "Variegated Devil's Backbone" Gray-green zig-zagged stems bend under large puckered fleshy leaves margined in bright clear white; red bird beak/bill-shaped blossoms appear if grown in full sun in a cool (not freezing) winter greenhouse, or in a garden on the banks of the Rio Grande.
