Very nice! Love the ariocarpus too. Unknown plant is Tylecodon reticulatus, me thinks.

What wonderful plants. I especially like the Pachycormus discolor and the Sarcocalon piniculinum.

hoov,

The Sarcocaulon and the other plants are just awfully nice to see. I think Rian's right - that's a really old Tylecodon. Thanks for showing us some pics and glad the environment was nicer than in the summer.

We went one year and it was 105F in the shade - just really unpleasant.

Those are all wowzers!

Might it be Tylecondon paniculatus?

I wish I had a better photo of the Sarcocalon. The foliage was so tiny it looked like an unreal cloud of green fog hovering over the base--really, really arresting sight. Forgot my camera's memory card and had to make do with the DH's small pocket camera.

hoov,

It might be, but I always thought the leaves were wider and the trunk more butter-like in colour for T. p. than the one you have pictured. It's an excellent plant nonetheless.

Beautiful. They all look antique.

Wish there were shows here in IL. Toni

Fascinating pix, TFS. What pls. is SGV?

SGV = San Gabriel Valley. It's wonderful the LA area has three C&S Societies.

Beautiful plants! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! I really envy the growers that live in So-Cal.
