Bushman's Pipe, Horny Wonder,

This unusual conversation piece produces in abundance strange looking green and white flowers in late summer. It has a unique method of pollination. The tubular 2½ inch flowers are lined inside with downward pointing hairs that temporarily trap insects. They are then released the next day covered with pollen. With thick leafless twining stems, it is best displayed in a hanging basket. Plant in partial shade with a well-draining cactus mix and allow to dry out between waterings. Needs protection from freezing. Native to South Africa. 



Ceropegia Ampliata is a rare and unusual succulent vine that originates from South Africa. It is related to the popular string of hearts plant (ceropegia woodii). The twining succulent stems have rudimentary leaves and the plant develops fleshy succulent roots. The plant is known for its large, eye-catching flowers that are produced in abundance at the end of summer that give rise to its common names.
