Hard cut to the Bankers of Puteoli, looking up from their wax tablet financial ledgers, "quid dicas, caudex?"* before going back to their numbers and olive oil.

Cutleaf #Vitex negundo. The flowers will appear a few at a time and extend into autumn. The entire shrub is herbally aromatic and #pollinators love it. In colder areas it dies back to a large woody #caudex.

Dioscorea elephantipes (epithet = “elephant foot”) is grown for its caudex. It is one of several xerophytic species that has an enlarged, water-storing, tessellated stem base. This species is native to South Africa. 📷: Leonora (Ellie) Enking CCBYSA2 #Dioscoreaceae #botany 🌾🧪🌱

This is a young Adenium obesum "Golden Carrot." Adeniums are prized for their large and sculptural caudex (trunk) and large roots. They're also known for their flowers. This cultivar has bright orange flowers. 🌱

Been trying to see just how big I could get this caudex on one of my hybrids. I didn't check it for a bit and a new branch came out.
