It looks like Gossypium herbaceum to me. Here is a link that might be useful: Gossypium herbaceum

Where's the Advil!! Spent the the day talkin' caudiciforms, everyone(members and visitors) wanted to know more. Haven't so much fun talking about plants in a long time. The club even wants to schedule a field trip to my caudex field ;o) The 1st group of photos are of my plants Calibanus hookerii, 18in diameter pot, 90lbs Fockea edulis, 13in diameter pot Petopentia natalensis, 9in diameter pot Othonna triplinervia, 10in pot Tylecodon wallichii, 12in pot Tylecodon paniculata, 9in pot Tylecodon reticulata 5in pot Euphorbia hediotoides, 3in pot Euphorbia beharensis v. guillemettii, 4in pot Euphorbia trichadenia, 5in pot Aloe plicatilis, 12in pot Pachypodium horombense, 5in pot Pachypodium densiflorum, 12in pot Kedrostis africana, 5in pot Pelargonium carnosum, 10in pot Pelargonium rapacium, 7in pot Cyphostemma juttae, 18in pot, 125lbs at least Pelargonium triste, 3in pot Avonia ustulata, 2in pot Ipomoea holubii, 4in pot Ipomoea bolusiana, 7in pot Ipomoea arborescence (left), 8in pot Mirabilis jalapa, 12in pot Sinningia leuchotricha, 5in pot Plectranthus ernestii, 4in pot From left to right-Operculicarya unknown species, O. hyphaenoides, O. pachypus, Fouquieria fasciculata, Commiphora humbertii, F.purpusii and Pachycormus discolor Unfortunately this was not a judged show, the public voted. After the vote the chairperson turns the tag over the owners name shows. I kept hearing "who's Keith?" Where's Keith?" Everyone wanted to meet the guy with the biggest, ugliest plants entered. The succulent division was at least half my plants. ...and I made about 2/3 of the pots.

As a newbie just receiving seeds back from my first ever swap...I am completely overwhelmed and so filled with gratitude at the generosity of you all. Nearly every seed that I had ever dreamed of acquiring arrived in my package, and then some! Tomatoes, beans, cardinal flower, monarda, herbs,cream of sask watermelon, I could go on and on. (because that was one big package of JOY) Going to be a tough act for the man in the red and white suit to follow on the 25th, my morning on the 7th is off the charts!!!! Thank you all so much! Nicky wasn't kidding when she told me to start planning a new garden bed, now I will have to!

Your seedlings are beautiful. I'm sorry to hear about your losses. I have a few shrubs that aren't looking to well this year due to too much rain and will most likely lose them. Fortunately they're common and cheap to replace if I decide to. And one shrub I lost due to the boyfriend not paying any attention, I had a small forsythia and it kind of blended in with the grass (grass is tall because the yard is too wet to mow), and he mowed it over with the mower. I'm waiting to see if it'll come back but not likely. It was given to me by our neighbor. I guess I'm going to have to cut the grass from now on if I don't want anything else killed or damaged, he gets in too much of a hurry to get the mowing done. Karen
