These are so amazingly beautiful. I was in teh Peace Corps in Comoros E Africa off the coast of Madagascar in Indian Ocean, they were all over the place like the Baobab trees...Co odd looking, I always felt like Barney and Betty Rubble would stop by and visit at any minute over there... 8)

One of my favorite places on earth(Madagascar)would love to go there sometime-
absolutely unbelievable plants and animals !

I used to be really into Pachycaul and other plant oddities,I was starting a collection up again
but that was derailed by cold hardy palms and Cactus 8)

Mike,
maybe you could make an off topic post to tell us about the Comoros. Hopefully with photos! I doubt I'll ever be able to afford to go there, or Madagascar.
My Bizzie is likely as close as I'll get. 🙁
Maybe add a triangle palm....
