I took this 3D image of a Madagascar Palm in the cactus and succulent section of the Botanic Gardens.
During late spring and summer, this part of the garden is very nice since many species are in bloom. The Madagascar Palm will get its blooms later in the summer. We’re planning to visit the garden again and will be watching for them.
If you have your 3D glasses handy, click on the image to see the full size anaglyph image. As usual, if you don’t have your free pair of 3D glasses yet, you can see the 2D version here.
Wikipedia offers this description of Pachypodium lamerei:
Pachypodium lamerei is a species of Pachypodium. It has large thorns and leaves mostly just at the top of the plant. It is a stem succulent and comes from the island Madagascar. The plant bears large, fragrant flowers. The species has become one of the best known pachypodiums in cultivation, being relatively easy to propagate and grow. In cultivation it is often marketed as the “Madagascar Palm”, despite in not being a palm at all.
