Re: Re: Mystery fans.....Ceropegia

I had no idea! I just love Rosary vine, and Home Depot stocks it. I can see it in my future even as I type the words...

Zem, if you are a fan of Hoya, you'll enjoy Ceropegia. Most are familiar
with the common C. woodii (Rosary vine) that has truly insignificant
flowers....but there are some Ceropegias that really have quite large blooms, some that
really look like little parachutes, some with fringes (cilia) to trap the
insect once it is caught. Quite interesting different types of foliage too,
most are succulent, some are even shrubs. Quite an interesting genus.

Thanks for that cool site, Noreen. I was completely unaware of Ceropegias
before now.
