Hi Vicki and welcome to the forum  Would love to see pictures of your plants. Caudiciforms IMO are certainly one of the best plants keep........I am very bias I am afraid  I am chasing a couple of dioscorea elephantipes at the moment that are certainly beautiful Betty | |

Caudiciform - to be honest it could have been something completely different - I just think it was because it looked like a little swollen tubers of a plant with leaves coming out the top - There were 3 10c piece sized blobs in a small pot for $3.50 - they had some larger ones for $40 (I think) I don't actually think the prices are particularly good at Hamilton’s. They have some rare plants under a cage that I think are very overpriced - small lophophora, turbinicarpus & ariocarpus for $30 & $40 imported from Europe. | |
