Fouquieria purpusii
Fouquireria is the sole genus in the family of Fouquieriacae. They comprise of eleven species, and although succulents they bear little resemblance to any other group. Native to northern Mexico and to the bordering states of the US, they offer an unusual presence, and are generally affected by rainfall. Come the showers, and the dry sticks will spring to life producing leaves, and later flowers. Fouquieria purpusii is not as popular as some of the other species in the genus, but is the perfect plant for a home-grown caudiciform, especially using the bonsai approach. It is certainly worth investigating, and collecting as it is always easy to cut down to size. Jkw

Re: Fouquieria purpusii
Thanks Luc. The photos from Mexico City inspired me to get the little plant in the centre. Unfortunately, it did not survive. Jkw
