Pachypodium geayi (??)


Almost bought the most beautiful Madagascar palm (pachypodium lamerei) back in March, we are talking great price, beautifully potted in a massive ceramic pot, etc. well I didn’t buy it and have been kicking myself still. Fast forward today to seeing this beauty at Lowe’s. Going to repot it since its leggy roots are popping out the bottom, but I am so happy even if I don’t know the specific species. Thinking pachypodium geayi? Let me know if otherwise. I’m psyched. Also think the same seller will be at the other botany show in October so maybe she will have a friend soon!

    Also thinking lamerei. This looks like its in a big box store pot and soil, and those are all lamerei. geayi has darker, thinner leaves and a more silvery colored stem
