Asclepiad

Huernia macrocarpa

Huernia macrocarpa



Caralluma schweinfurthii 

Caralluma schweinfurthii 
 In the ground

Caralluma schweinfurthii 
 In flower

Caralluma ? I have had this plant for years and had not seen it flower

Stapelia grandiflora

 Stapelia leendertziae not in flower at this time so I didn't take a photo. The plant looks like Stapelia grandiflora when not in flower.

 

Crown of Thorns

Euphorbia milii splendens comes in many froms and colors.

With all the hybrids around you can find all kinds of colors and color combinations as long as it is red, yellow, white or a shades or one of them.

 

Their are big and small forms as well.

 A easy to grow plant that can take full sun.

 Blooms freely most of the year

This is a Thai Hybrid with large flowers

 

 It is a  Euphorbia so the sap is poisonous, it can irritates the skin, and can cause temporary blindness if it goes in the eyes.
