The hanging necklace of the Cape
A semi-succulent native to southern Africa, the Ceropegia Woodii stores water in its thick leaves and in small tubers that appear along its strands.
Placed up high near a bright window, it lets its garlands hang over two meters. Its tubular lantern-shaped flowers are a botanical curiosity in their own right.
"A string of hearts descending, season after season."
