A Correction

On June 8th I posted a picture of what I thought was Machairophyllum latifolium, I was led to believe that from the label on it from the greenhouse.  My cursory examination didn’t catch it but luckily a reader by the screen name of Arizona Ed (or CactiEd, not sure.  Email me!)  did.  I appreciate it.

It is in fact Rhombophyllum dolabriforme commonly known as Elkhorn Plant.

Thanks for the correction.  I’ll try harder in the future.

Rhombophyllum dolabriforme

I love the look of this plant. It looks like some alien life form

It has no common name and I can’t wait for it’s flowers of orange and red.
