Huernia pendula

I decide to show this as it is a bit unusual. One of the jobs on my list I tackled this morning was repotting this plant. I had to carefully cut the old plastic pot from around a very root bound plant with secateurs and  re pot it  ( using a teaspoon to get the soil in ) in a taller planter so it's flowers are more easily seen.

 It is Huernia pendula a stapeliad. Sometimes called a bell flower sometimes referred to as an orchid of the succulent world. It's part of the apocynaceae family the same family that has carrion flowers in it  - This one doesn't smell.

 Up close and looking up into the flower. It flowers for a long time each year and is now growing quite large. it's flowers tend to go unnoticed when they hang down.

 I hope it is happy in it's new larger prettier pot.
