Hello all,

Stumbled across this forum while performing a search.

Caudiciform succulents are my obsession, Cyphostemma, Pachypodium and Operculicarya make up the bulk of my collection. Euphorbia, Bursera, Idria, Fockea, Fouquieria, Avonia, Boswelia, Ipomoea, Ceraria and Petopentia filling in the gaps.

I have four growing beds for plants I want large, everything else is in containers. My Cypho collection consists of 14 species, and 50 plants. Ranging in size from adenocaule which is about an inch in diameter to the juttae I'm holding which is 22inches wide.

Attached is a photo of me transporting my largest Cyphostemma juttae, it weighs about a 80-100lb!

I just ordered a Cyphostemma juttae from a local C&S dealer. Can't wait to get it. I imagine it gets quite a few comments from visitors.
