I do not have a Pachypodium!

I have a secret wish to own one of these beautiful succulent plants! One with a big caudex! A miniature one, or one that has been bonsai-ed, for container (not planted in yard)! I can't seem to find one here locally, so will start to look online too. I may go to a Bonsai Society meeting this month and see if anyone has one there, for sale. Does anyone have a Pachypodium? I can't take a photo off the web, but would love to see yours if you have one! Meanwhile...on with my search!

A poem by claude

Julies Lament

I do not have a pachypodium!
A plant I sincerely covet...
If you send me a pachypodium,
I promise that I'll love it!


obviously, I've been reading too much of that light verse, now I'm making up silly rhymes. Good luck with your search

OH LOL Claude!!! I love it!!!!! You are turning into a poet, for sure! Keep them coming!!!!! :)

Soul B- I'm sorry I could not post a pic...I just love all of the different varieties...especially the ones with big bulbeous bases!!!
Maybe I will get out and find some at a nursery and get some pics this weekend!

I do not have a Pachypodium!
A plant my sould doth covet.
If you send a Pachypoduim,
I promise that I'll love it!

I've raked the valleys, I've searched the hills,
I even checked at Wal-mart!
And not a single Pachypodium,
To ease my aching heart.

What caped crusader, what green-skinned hero,
What night on noble steed?
Shall bring a Pachypodium,
To sate this hungry need?

Not swaying palms, not lilies fair,
Nor Roses by the bower...
Can replace a Pachypodium,
In this, my darkest hour.




Now I doubt that you're this much of a drama queen, but my Momma always said that people shouldn't encourage me...

later...

Oh Claude...now you have me crying! This is the nicest poem I have ever read. I will use it as my inspiration for Cactus Monday, if it is OK with you?????
Thankyou so much for this...I really love it!!! You are a wonderful poet...have you missed your ultimate calling??? I think you need to write us all a book of poetry!!!!!!! Or...better yet...start a poetry blog!!!!!
