| A friend gave me a book for the holiday, Pachyforms: A Guide to Growing Pachycaul and Caudiciform Plants. I've only flipped thru the pics so far but what amazing specimens! I wanted just about everything I saw. There were some that I didn't realize developed caudices like Aristolochia gigantea. |

| Thats a nice book. Now I need a Aristolochia gigantea..... Mike |
|
| I have about a dozen varieties but all except some of my adeniums are still pretty small. I hope they will one day look like the pics in that book. My problem is that after seeing some of the photos I will begin an obsessive search for more varieties. My kids don't need the money we've put aside for college, do they? lol |
