I bought this strange, vining succulent, Ceropegia linearis ssp woodii, back in August at the Montreal Botanical Gardens.
I’ll have to take some pictures of the leaves as well — they are interesting in their own right. The plant has suffered a bit of legginess over the past few months as I’ve grown accustomed to its light and water needs, but I think it’s in the right spot now. I think the watering issues I’ve been having are on account of the undersized pot it came in. I am not looking forward to the balancing act required to repot this gnarly thing. It’s a disaster in the making.
Despite a rocky start, it has been flowering regularly since I brought it home, and has even produced seeds! I’m curious to see if anything will come of them.
Just looked this up, it’s in the Asclepiadacae family. Which means it’s related to Milkweed. Does that sound right ? Do the seeds have fibres like Milkweed?
Yes!! Very interesting. I did not look up the family but clearly should have. It explains a lot.
Looks like a flamingo!
