Ceropegia fusca

An upright, leafless-looking stem succulent of the Canary Islands, with jointed grey-green stems to about 1.5 m and reddish-brown tubular flowers in spring and summer. It grows in the hot, dry coastal scrub of Tenerife, Gran Canaria and La Palma and wants full sun, a mild winter and a dry summer.
