Pachypodium lamerei

This palm is actually a species of succulent and thus is more closely related to the cacti than other species of palm. It is a very popular houseplant despite its trunk and branches being covered in spines. Whether kept indoors or placed in a landscape, it will reveal creamy white or sometimes pink flowers depending upon the varietal. It will reach nearly 5 feet overall but is a slow grower and is thus striking in an ornamental planter of appropriate size!
