Alluaudia Procera - Madagascar Ocotillo


Alluaudia Procera or Madagascar Ocotillo looks like a piece of art to me. I was not quite sure if this one was Alluaudia Comosa, given they are so similar, and it is also confused with the Ocotillo.
After some research, I have concluded that this is Procera. 
Anyway my intention was to show the sculptural characteristics of this succulent in front of modern architecture, and all the texture that was added to a plain building.


The pictures belong to my personal archives, 2021. See how beautiful the succulents garden of this building at the San Diego Zoo looks with the combination of round bushes of Money Plant and low ground covers Sea Fig or Pig Face.


The Money Plant enclosing the Alluaudia Procera, adding volume to the group.


Here, the Madagascar Ocotillo in combination with more cactus and succulents, along a path.
On the left and at the end of the succulents path, an Acacia is depicting a turning point. 


Here is a macro photo of the Acacia, the succulents in a lighter green tone behind.
