Ceropegia
« on: May 05, 2011, 10:31:08 AM »
Not the correct forum for these probably, but I'm so chuffed with these that I wanted to show them off!
The first one is Ceropegia sandersonii, common name is African Parachute plant. This has just burst back into bloom for me.
The second one is Ceropegia woodii. I've been after one for a while, and found this at the weekend. Small leaves and flowers of about 20mm, this one hangs about a metre. Also known as Rosary vine.

Maggi - I have to agree as I find them fascinating too.
Next on the list is Ceropegia Stapeliaeformis.

I can add one other picture to that. A fascinating species from S India that unfortunately turned out to be impossible to cultivate coming from a very specific habitat: C. spiralis. S India is very rich in Ceropegia anyway but these are far less known than the African species. During my fieldwork I encountered some amazing species.

Definitely wildlife that one. Look at those eyes, and a hat to rival that of the Princess B (or was it E?)
