Ceropegia ampliata - Bushman's pipe

This hanging plant is called Ceropegia ampliata - Horny wonder or Bushman's pipe. Nearly leafless rambling stems produce 3" inflated balloon-like flowers of white and yellow pin stripes, topped with green birdcages. Flowers in early autumn. Origin: South Africa and over there it's called Boesmanpypblom.
