Author Content jooolster Santa Barbara, CA (Zone 10b) June 14, 2009 09:51 AM Post #6685493 I found this at Green Thumb along side a bunch of Adenium obesas. The salesman told me he thought it was another type of Adenium but he didn't know which. I can't seem to find anything that looks like this. Can anyone identifiy it?

I've seen a lot of c&s but have never seen leaves and stems quite like that! Sorry I couldn't help. jooolster Santa Barbara, CA (Zone 10b) June 14, 2009 10:19 AM Post #6685617 Thanks. I didn't know there was a caudiciform group! sube1984 Moorpark, CA (Zone 9a) June 14, 2009 01:21 PM Post #6686297 joolster, try bringing it to terra sol in goleta, off of patterson...margarita, mike, tony or one of their suppliers will know for sure.

Maybe it's Euphorbia neorubella (synonym Monadenium rubellum). Regards Carlos jooolster Santa Barbara, CA (Zone 10b) June 15, 2009 09:18 AM Post #6689586 Yes, it appears to be Monadenium montanum var. rubellum.
