A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 What do I have here?

A gift from a friend, but our language barrier makes it difficult for me to understand what this plant is...I only know that this can be a "bonsai" specimen, and that currently, I am not making this plant very happy.

Well thanks to the input of Ryan McNew of Shoal Creek Succulents
I know my plants are Jatropha podagaricas, or Buddha Belly plants.

Thanks to Ryan for taking the time to help someone who isn't a customer (yet).

I highly suggest a visit to their site they have an awesome succulent collection, obvious expertise, and great prices.

Ya, it's a plug, but he didn't have to take the time to answer my questions, but did.

Have we had the pleasure of meeting Ryan McNew here???

I'm usually pretty good with names, but
don't remember seeing it................

Any chance we can get him to stop by and say hi!!
And welcome himself to the forum????
Always happy to have a gardener here who knows their "stuff"!!!!!!!!

I'll extend an invitation to Ryan, Weezie! I've only been here a week or so, so I'm not sure if he's ever stopped by to share in the community.

And thanks for the welcome.

It's always nice to have a 'succulents expert' around so you can pick his brains.

Hi - I'm still kinda' new here. It's a great place.
