    Hello All!
    My name is Linda, I'm new to the site and the group. I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I'm excited about learning about succulents from you all.

    I did have one specific question I'm hoping one of you may have info./insight on. I have a driveway that I want to cover (as in with some kind of lattice cover, like this: royalcovers.com/wp-content/gallery/latti...)

    I want something to grow over it. I was thinking bougainvilleas, but then I thought, " what about succulents?!?"

    Do any of you know of a vine type of succulent that may work for this type of thing?
    Thank you!

    For those who are into the suggestive forms of succulents with a big fat caudex, here are some views of them large and small, in habitat and in containers. Most hail from the island of Madagascar and southern Africa.

    Loosely known as pachycauls, these plants develop their succulent tissues within a woody trunk that holds moisture during the long dry season. Collectors love these plants as potted specimens because they resemble parts of human anatomy. Otherwise they're just beloved for their very strange looks.
