Variegated Stick Ceropegia
New! This very rare collector's plant has longitudinal stripes of green and yellow variegation running along its upright jointed cylindrical stems. This is a native of the Canary Islands, where its non-variegated form grows in a shrubby manner up to 5 feet high in full hot sun with stems having a waxy white exterior. The small insignificant leaves are usually dropped in hot, dry conditions. From spring to summer it blooms with tube-shaped, lantern-like reddish brown flowers. It makes a nice ornamental plant for the dry, drought tolerant garden. Give it good drainage and minimum water in the winter. It is usually recommended that it requires hot conditions and as much sun as possible to grow well. However, this variegated form might need a bit of sun protection and is probably more suitable as a potted plant. USDA zones 9 - 11.
Plants are sold in 3 inch pots (the image shows a typical plant on the right side).

Parachute or Umbrella Plant
The common name of this small succulent vine refers to its flowers that are shaped somewhat like parachutes or umbrellas. The flowers are even more unusual in that they give off a scent to trap flies. As the flies slide down the flower tube to the base they get covered in pollen. The flies are released later, as the flower withers, to pollinate other parachute flowers. It's fairly easy to grow as a basket plant or in a dry terrarium in well-drained soil and bright light (not direct sunlight). Native to Mozambique, South Africa, and Swaziland. (B,T)
