Here's some of my Pachypodiums that I have all grown from seed over the last 8-12 years. I will try not include multiples of the the same species as I have a few of each.

First is P. densiflorum var. brevicaulx

Here's my favorite P. saundersii! I have two that are the same age but this individual packs on mass in the caudex like his life depends on it. Grows so fast it feels like I'm having to repot it far far more frequently than any other pachy I have. But he's awesome.

Next is P. eburneum, at least that's what it's bloom leads me to believe this year. The next one I'll post will my last be P. cf. eburneum but I'm waiting on a bloom to prove it.

P. saundersii var. compacta. Not sure if they remain true to type with this var. from seed. But that's what I bought the seeds as. Could just be P. saundersii but it has never looked like any of my other straight saundersii that grew from seed. It developed this rot in the side of its caudex from being in two small of a pot for too long, I swore I wawa
Going to loose it, but I cleaned it out and it's been a little over a year since then and it's remained alive.

Next is my P. densiflorum that resembles IMO kinda resembles P. horombense. I was lead to believe maybe the seeds came in labeled wrong. This guy is shockingly old for its size, around 7yrs old. Waiting for it to bloom still.

I think that's it for the Pachyies I have at home, I might be forgetting a few, my P. brevicaule stays in the greenhouse, I don't have any pictures of it but I will try and get one.

The morning glory which blooms for an hour, differs not at heart from the giant pine, which lives for a thousand years.
