Sinningia cardinalis
A beautiful, caudex forming member of the Gesneriaceae, these plants are easy to grow. They go dormant during the winter but at about this time every spring, they put out new leaves and bright red flowers. During the summer, they appreciate adequate water and bright filtered sun or light shade.

Fockea edulis
This is one of a couple of nice old specimens of Fockea edulis, an African caudiciform plant, that we have. We've really come to like these plants over the years.

Fouquieria purpusii
Meet Fouquieria purpusii. Related to the Boojum Tree and the Ocotillos, this photo is of a beginning specimen which will soon exhibit its characteristic stem markings as it grows bigger. Slow growing, especially when confined to a pot.
