Huernia zebrina 'variegata' Variegated

Huernia zebrina 'variegata' VariegatedHuernia zebrina 'variegata' Family: Apocynaceae (Asclepidaceae). A nice variegated form of this common but beautiful species. The plant is small but clumps readily. Flowers are most common and numerous in the late summer and fall but can bloom any time of year if happy. In higher light these plants can take on purple highlights, in shade they are green. They can take some direct sun, but aren't full sun plants. These flowers have no strong scent, so

This is one of the species with a flower that has a fetid smell

While technically a succulent this plant doesn't like drying out fully (but is forgiving of the occasional dry spell)

Stronger light promotes darker colors

Gymnocalycium dubniorum Family: Cactaceae

Keep very dry in the winter unless you have good growing conditions

but protect if temps will be below the upper 20s

Cynanchum pierrieri Family: Apocynaceae (Asclepidaceae)

There is no other cactus like it

This form of the species has lavender to pink flowers and wide blueish leaflets

Produces long pink flowers in straight lines along the side of the plant

Unlike a lot of succulents this species seems to like high humidity

probably undescribed species of Hoya with tiny pinkish purple flowers
