This is a first (for me) - seed pods
I've been growing Ceropegia woodii for many years now but for the first time it has seed pods developing.........
No more special treatment than any other year, it just gets tied to the fence post in shade. It's a happy plant..........

Manfreda elongata
I believe that Manfreda elongata is classified as a succulent but if it isn't then I'll trust admin to move it to the appropriate forum.

I allowed a load of Nasturtium to self seed by the greenhouse door as they're a favourite of the cabbag...

Re: Albuca spiralis
