Very Rare Whitesloanea Crassa
If you are ever in Somalia, you may never see one of these native plants. Locals protect
them in an almost mystical manner for apparent medicinal properties and you can be killed
for taking one. They grow in gritty gravel in filtered light. They produce a white and
brown flower (this flower photo taken in November, note that the flowers
come from buds at the soil line).
It is considered one of the rarest succulents. Ours are seed grown about 3-4 inches tall
and well rooted. They are excellent specimens, get ready for your local plant show.

Dendroseris Litoralis
This leafy plant is so endangered in habitat that at one time the entire population was
down to just three plants. It is found only on the Juan Fernandez Islands off Chile. (By
the way, the leaves are edible and were found in the novel Robinson Crusoe). The reason
for the near extinction was that goats were introduced onto the island by early explorers
and they feasted on the plants. It grows into a tree-like plant with woody stalk.
Our supply was seed-grown and are well rooted, each has five or six leaves as shown. You
can be pretty certain when you own this plant that nobody else you know will have one!

This is a must have plant!
These are absolutely unique -- and only a few remain. This is a crested pachypodium --
each one unique. They are just coming into their spring growth, you'll see tiny green
leaves appearing along the crest. As these plants mature, the crests take on interesting
asymetrical shapes. The plants are large, measuring about10-12 inches tall and about 8-10
inches in diameter, each one is different.

All Weather Column
Stetsonia Coryne
This beautiful column was originally from the Andes Mountains of northwestern Argentina.
Given its origins, it can tolerate weather extremes including cold, rain, snow and
drought. It is a perfect column cactus for areas with less than favorable weather. In
habitat it even thrives in hard packed clay soil. The stetsonia has an incredible
night-blooming flower which is about 6-inches long. As this plant grows, it puts out
offshoot branches, sometimes resembling a saguaro cactus. We think you'll love these hardy
columns. Each column is between 8-12 inches tall, fully rooted.

grown in sunlight, mottled green in shade. |
Hybrid Gasteria
These unique and beautiful gasteria were developed as hybrids by an affecionado who spent

slightly different from the photo. They are thick-leaved, growing in six inch diameter
pots, ready to be up-potted (shipped bareroot). They are beginning to flower. These plants

The Agave
Queen Regina Variagata
is one of the most rare of agaves. Virtually impossible to find in commercial quantities. |
Extremely Rare
Agave Queen Regina Variagata
Try finding this one anywhere else! The agave Queen Regina Variagata is exceptionally
difficult to find, particularly in this size. The plants are about three years old (they
grow slowly). Each plant is approximately 5-6 inches in diameter.
The key differentiating factor for these plants is the yellow/green variagation in the
leaves. They will be stunning plants in a few years and there truely won't be another one
on your block.
At plant shows, the few variagatas of this size that make it to the market sell in the
$100+ range. Ours are priced at $55.95. For serious collectors and agave fans, this one is
a must.

Ultimate
Garden Bench
This is the essential rustic Craftsman-style garden bench for cactus, succulent and other
plants (or for sitting). We've used them for years in our greenhouse and yard and had so
many requests from friends and relatives that we decided to make them available for sale.
They are the perfect way to showcase your plants.
Construction is 100% wood -- no fillers or composition board. The legs are beefy 4x6
lumber held together with screws, glue and metal brakets, even our kids can't damage these
benches and they play on them all the time. The bench is 60 inches (5 feet) wide, 14
inches deep and 19 inches high. Weighing about 70 lbs., this is a substantial piece of
furniture, not a lightweight IKEA-like piece. Our benches are sold unfinished as pictured
here. A dark brown color stain (shown here in the background) can be applied for an
additional fee.
The bench is shipped with the two leg assemblies fully assembled and the top boards
pre-cut and sanded. To complete your bench, you simply stand the legs parallel and screw
or nail on the top boards. We provide the hardware, it takes a couple of minutes. If
you purchase unfinished, we recommend paint, varnish or stain to protect the wood.
