Borzicactus Samaipatanus Cristata

Cactus from Bolivia. Blooms in Autumn.

Aeonium Balsamiferum

Perfect for the winter time!

Native to the Canary Islands and Northern Africa, the sap of these succulents were used by the Guanche tribe for mummification. Now, they are best known for their amazing scent when their fuzzy rosettes open up during cooler climates. They close up like green rose buds during the summer. They grow in a more shrub-like manner and like it most in light shade.

I'm not being melodramatic when I say these smell incredible.

Dracaena Dragon Trees

These ancient trees require warm weather and grow over 40 feet high. A crimson red resin comes from the leaves and bark and is used by locals to cure stomach ailments, freshen breath, decorate pottery and houses and even as lipstick.

*Check out the guy walking next to the Draco. That tree's huge!

Adenium Obesum

Often called the "Desert Rose" or "Sabi Star", the Adenium Obesum behaves like a semi-deciduous in colder climates and a succulent shrub in warmer climates, growing up to 10 feet tall in height and 6 feet in trunk diameter. They're a great houseplant, even for beginners, as they need little care as long as they get plenty of sun. This exact variety is from Socotra.
