| From Yemen and East Africa (Somalia through Tanzania), this species has a conical caudex up to three-four feet tall. The leaves are deeply lobed, and the flowers of this dioecious species are small and cream colored. The fruit are striped with two shades of green. The woody vines arise from the caudex; we recommend trimming the vines, not the caudex, of this species. We offer seedlings of this species with caudices 1-2 inches across in 4.25- to 6-inch pots. |
| Adenium 'Arabian Ruby' | $50.00 |
| We are releasing Mark Dimmitt's new hybrid Adenium, 'Arabian Ruby,' with this offering. This hybrid is a cross between the well-known hybrid Adenium obesum 'Black Ruby' with the Shada form of Adenium arabicum, which comes from the Jebel Shada in Saudi Arabia. This is a very unusual Adenium because the leaves create scars on the stem, which cause the stem to grow in a zigzag pattern. The flowers are a stunning rose-red color with a yellow-white striped throat, and they are borne year-round in a greenhouse setting. These plants are well-established rooted cuttings in 8-inch pots. Unlike the rooted cuttings of some Adeniums, this hybrid creates a very nice caudex, and it has a higher cold and rot tolerance than most Adeniums. |

These plants are seedlings in 3-inch pots. |
| Agave ornithobroma medium | $8.00 |
| This species, from the lowlands of the western Mexico states of Sinaloa and Nayarit, has narrow, light green leaves without marginal spines.

| Agave potatorum c.v. ‘kichiokan’ | $8.00 |
| Agave potatorum is from central Mexico. This cultivar form is from who knows where, and although it has been linked to A. potatorum for a long time, it may be a different species or a hybrid. Whatever it is, it is a beautiful plant with thin, spathulate leaves with beautiful, light spination and a light blue-green color. Until the recent drought claimed our plants, we had this growing in our yard, where it created a one-foot diameter clump that withstood low temperatures of 25F. These plants are rooted offsets in 4-inch pots. |

| Agave weberi | $5.00 |
| Gentry (1982) cites a report that this species originally was from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, but mostly it is found in cultivation in the southern United States. This is the “Phoenix form,” and the plants have weak teeth along the margins, as opposed to the generally perceived normal form, which does not have teeth along the leaves. This is one of the largest of the Agaves, with a main rosette of gracefully arching blue-green leaves and proliferous offsets around the base. The inflorescence is extremely tall – several of our plants recently bloomed to produce spikes 25-30 feet tall! These plants are rooted offsets in 6-inch pots. |

To our surprise, and a little disgust, we got a lot of hybrids! These plants bear varying degrees of difference from the true species, mostly in terms of grayer leaves and the appearance of spots on the leaves. We highly suspect that these plants are at least as hardy as the original plants, which have taken 20F with only leaf-edge damage. These plants are seedlings in one-gallon pots. |
