Tylecodon cacalioides

[Colin Walker]

Colin I was referencing the orange flowers of Ian's grandiflora.

Whoops, OK, now I understand. Sorry, my confusion.

If you've a photo of the flowers of your T. ? wallichii please post, or maybe when it next flowers?

T. cacalioides has longer narrowly tubular flowers whereas those of T. wallichii are shorter and more bell-shaped, so in flower they're easily distinguishable. Sorry but I don't have photos of either to post for comparison.

Mine have never flowered up to yet, but all this sun and heat might give them the push they need.

I think some botanists are either confused, or poor at Greek - "Phyllopodia" means "leaf-feet". Whoever heard of plants having feet?

Awesome phyllopodia, that's what I'd say.

Meanwhile I have nought a single phyllopodium to display in public.
