Caudiciforms

Will you look at these new friends I've found. Caudex means stem, so I think could be applied to most plants with stems, but if you dig around a bit there are all sorts of plants where the stems are the main attraction! They're often referred to as caudiciforms and I think they're awesome! Look at some of these amazing examples dredged up from Instagram. yessssss. Normally plants are pretty friendly looking but you just want to cradle these babies right?

This is pretty much how I look under my clothes.

I'm not going to link all the different users whose photos they are because . . . lazy. But I urge you to look up the hashtag #caudex on there and follow every blighter who posts under it because they're a joy to have in your timeline.
