Hey there,
so I happened to find an adorable cotyledon paniculata on ebay which i fell in love with, but sadly it was sold before I was able to place a bid. Since then I have been unable to find it anywhere, except for for exorbitant amounts of money. Does anyone know where I could purchase/order one of these plants without going broke? haha. I just love the succulent/caudiciform trees!
Also, I just planted some Adenium Obesum (desert rose) seeds yesterday, so if anyone has any advice/suggestions for me with those I'd appreciate it lol!
thanks for your help!

-Ali

I found a Tylecodon paniculatus (nickname Butter Tree) listed in Plant Files:

http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/64126/

but I don't know where you can purchase one as there are no vendors listed. It's a very interesting looking plant and I see there are four other people who are looking for it too.

Here's the listing for Adenium obesum: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/527/ If you scroll down to the bottom of the page to the section labeled "Gardener's Notes" someone may talk about growing them from seed.

I've tried growing the Adenium obesum but can't seem to keep them alive because I can't seem to keep them dry enough. They usually drown during our rainy season.

Hello fellow succulent lover! I hate to give out names, but I just have been so impressed by the selection of succulents that I have found year round at, of all places, Home Depot. Again I apologize, I am not trying to promote anyone's business, but they have a huge selection and they are very affordable. I have checked many other garden centers/nurseries in my area and nowhere else have I found such a variety. So check it out if you have one.
