We haven't kicked this around in awhile. Any thoughts on succulents as
bonsai? Some of you have been awful quiet--what do you think?

A great place to look at succulents or pachycauls is:
http://retail.rareplantresearch.com/home.php

A number of the plants in their catalog are described as "great for
bonsai", although I can't guarantee they actually are (their figs are a
pretty good bet, however). But I think a number of plants in the
Euphorbiaceae might make good bonsai.

The minimum order for their catalog is something like $80, so a club might
want to pool an order.

Me, I'm wild about Dorstenias.

I wasn't familiar with this group, so I did a search. A picture of one
species looked interesting:

Dorstenia gigas
