The 7th photo is an unknown Madagascar plant with yellow flowers.

I am impressed by the variety of plants you have, and they look really well cared for. It's pretty crazy that damaged saundersii is still alive. Those plants didn't do well here (though they lasted several years) because our climate is so cool and moist.

What kind of light are all those Pachypodiums getting? I'm guessing most come in for the winter and go outside for the summer.


That plant looks like a pachy, if you have a photo of it's flower I might be able to track down a ID on it if it's from Madagascar.

Thank you very much, it's been a pleasure keeping these. I'd love to one day have at least one of each species in the whole genus. Thank you for that compliment, I try and take care of them pretty well, I think it has a lot to do with the type of "soil" I grow them in.

And yeah I was totally shocked that it made it! It's been at least a full year since I noticed the rot!

And as far as environment goes most of them have lived their entire lives year round inside of a greenhouse in New Jersey. I had a desert house set up with it's own automated drip line watering system. So I never took them out in the summers, I figured if they were happy I was happy and they just lived there. I actually wish they got a little more light than they do, noticed some etiolation the last years as a tree outside the greenhouse got overgrown.

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