41489 MALPIGHIA COCCIGERA MALP CGH HP PRICE: $12.00 "Singapore Holly" Bright green, glossy spinny-toothed leaves on bushy mounds; rose flowers & red berries. West indies native basic to tropical bonsai, yet performing beautifully as a bright windowsill potplant, given adequate even humidity levels. This starter size (price very low!) we ship may be limited at times--perhaps best to inquire if you are interested in multiples.

41323 MURRAYA PANICULATA [EXOTICA] RUT HP CGH $6.75 "Orange Jasmine" or "Chinese Cosmetic Boxwood" Glossy-leaved shrub (a tree in the tropics) with fragrant white flowers-- often trained as an indoor bonsai: "Chalcas" or "Satinwood" are other common names--all adding up to one observation: if it has this many common names, indicating its popularity in a number of horticultural roles, can you really live without one?

40654 MYRSINE AFRICANA VER TGH HP PRICE: $ 6.50 "African Boxwood" or "Cape Myrtle" Thick-lved pseudo-bonsai, tiny leathery coin lvs on somewhat fastigate woody stems. We recommend this for indoor bonsai for it grows easilly and trims well.

40659 MYRTUS COMMUNIS COMPACTA PAL HP TGH $ 10.00 Unusually dense boat-shaped leaves closely packed on rather fastigate branches with a rich citrus aroma. Very distinctive and unique form--much prized by bonsai designers.

42156 NASHIA INAGUENSIS VER TGH HP PRICE: $ 6.25 "Bahana Berry" Tiny crinkled fleshy leaves, with lovely mint/verbena fragrance, on rigid much-branched twiglets emerging from woody trunks--perfect tropical bonsai; the orange berries (following petite verbenia-shaped cream flowers) add that distincly vanilla flavor to Moujean tea. Also used in topiary as the flexible stems will follow the contours of any moss filled wire form or driftwood surface and the tiny leaves remain shingled on the surface. Never let this dry out or face the horrible truth of terminal dormancy. We only ship this during warmer months.

60485 ADENIA GLAUCA PAS TGH PRICE: $ 12.50 Swollen caudiform stems topped with annual viney stems with glaucous-gray fingered leaves; pink flowers.

60502 ADENIUM OBESUM MULTIFLORUM [A. MULTIFLORUM] APO HP TGH PRICE: $ 9.00 "Impala Lily" Fat swollen trunks taper into stubby branches with spiral leaves and white funnel flowers edged crimson. A reliable and beautiful start into a collection of caudiform plants.

60558 BURSERA FAGAROIDES BUR HP CGH PRICE: $ 12.00 Named for the pinnate leaves resemblence to the Prickly-Ash family such as fellow West-indian native, the Satinwood. Heavy trunks topped by interlaced limber stems with strong fragrance, thus the "Mexican Frankinensense Shrub." Fabulous in the greenhouse succulent collection; handsome as a sunny windowsill potplant; always popular among bonsai fanciers as the leaves remain petite and the trunk becomes more and more swollen with fascinating bark. We include several pictures of older trees in pots. These sometimes are available at about 100.00 each. Inquire.

65091 CALIBANUS HOOKERI LIL HP TGH PRICE: $ 15.00 Large corky caudex of a Ponytail; but multi-headed tufts of semi-glaucous leathery leaves. Central Mexico.

60906 CRASSULA OVATA OBLIQUA CALIFORNIA RED TIP CRA CGH HP PRICE: $7.25 Distinctive slow growing "Red Rimmed Jade Tree" originating with Ed Hummel long ago, with a subtle hue of purplish-red on the fat leaves' rims (when given bright light to full sun). Paired rimmed leaves on stout woody trunks; but without intense light, cool winter conditions and very limited fertilizer, the subtle color will quite likely not develop.

60284 CRASSULA PORTULACEA CONVOLUTA GOLLUM CRA HP PRICE: $ 5.50 "Trumpet Jade" Stiff short woody trunks support tufts of bizarre leaves so fused that only a curious trumpet fish-mouth remains at the tip--rather like E.T.'s fingers! The cute name once again makes sense to customers thanks to current blockbuster films.

60285 CRASSULA PORTULACEA CONVOLUTA HOBBIT CRA HP CGH PRICE: $ 7.50 Each leaf is rolled in from the sides and nearly fused into various bizarre forms of fat unrolled cigarettes. Popular conversation piece developing a considerably different outline than that of 'Gollum.'

60291 CRASSULA TETRAGONA CRA HP TGH PRICE: $5.50 "Chinese Pine" Stiff woody slim stems studded with spindle shaped needle leaves in four rigid ranks; white flowered native of the Eastern Cape is most effective grown in tightly clumped groups displayed in a small bonsai pot.

67212EUPHORBIA MILII PEACHY QUEEN [HYB]EUP HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 A complex Frieling hybrid involving imperatae; heavily branching miniature shrub with multi-hued cyathophylls of red-salmon and yellow. Excellent everbloomer under lights; a proven show winner.

60393 KALANCHOE HILDEBRANDTII CRA HP TGH PRICE: $5.25"Silver Teaspoons" perfect description of the platinum hair pelting the oval leaves with narrow petioles; these remarkable leaves are rigidly ranked on slim extremely erect stems (thus lending this plant new status as a unique but successful rigidly at attention topiary standard). A curiously similar habit to that of Kalanchoe peltata, whose similarly shaped rigid leaves are, of course, NOT pelted. In the West Coast wholesale trade this Madagascar native seems usually offered as K. orgyalis `Silver' (but orgyalis is a much larger statured, less symmetrically upright growing, not given to rigid right angles of growth, and a more tannish toned plant).

60408 KALANCHOE PELTATA CRA HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.00 Slim erect stems rigidly hold leaves resembling an army of (un-pelted!) tiny garden spades; topped by pink bellflowers when mature. Easy slow growing houseplant--the dependable angular plain sister of the showy flashy hildebrandii.

60534 PACHYPODIUM SAUNDERSII APO HP TGH PRICE: $ 12.50 "Star of Lundi" Thick clubfoot caudiform bases--smooth bark of silver-gray--taper to branches covered with spur shoots covered with deciduous deep green leaves, each flanked with needle-like spines; white flared blossoms. South Africa. Ask about our specimen size plants.

60551 PORTULACARIA AFRA POR HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.75 "Elephant Bush" A natural for pseudo-bonsai with knobbed tan-reddish stems and sparry branches clasped by small jade leaves--forms a dense bush with time. South African native much valued in Japanese bonsai where it is known as "Zo-Yabu."

60782 PORTULACARIA AFRA GOLD POR HP TGH] PRICE: $ 7.75 "Golden Elephant Bush" New leaves emerge completely golden ochre, fade to bright lime. Certainly a vigorous, easily grown visual treat in any hobby greenhouse display of succulents.

60553 PORTULACARIA AFRA MACROPHYLLA POR HP TGH PRICE: $5.75 Much larger variety of "Elephant Bush" with gray-green angular leaves and sparcer more symmetrical branching. Rare, yet of easy culture.

60554 PORTULACARIA AFRA VARIEGATA POR HP TGH PRICE: $6.25 "Rainbow Bush" Reddish-brown stems beautifully foil the succulent small jade leaves with cream edges developing a pink- violet tone in high light, with carmine rim. Handsome.

60793 TALINUM PANICULATUM PATENS (PANICULATUM) VARIEGATUM POR HP TGH PRICE: $ 5.00 "Fame Flower" or "Jewels of Opar" Slender erect stems bear obovate ivory-margined fleshy leaves; terminal pinkish-red flowers followed by berries create a haze of color much prized by designers. A Caribbean native, so avoid winter chills. A wonderful addition to any outdoor container, windowbox, even bedding as the clear white variegation brings out the intensity of any nearby foliar colors--plus, a beautiful pot subject by itsself, performing quite contentedly on a sunny windowsill.
