Jim WOW!!! Everything looks great. How old is the Pachypodium in the pot? Seed grown? I have one about that size and everyone always comments on the jurassic look . Cheers amigo.

The tall one I got in Az in 2006(3" tall) the smaller one in the pot(above ground)
is maybe 4-5 years old-supposed to be P.Mikea...this was purchased off e-bay.
