    That is ver cool looking, I like the ivy-looking leaves. I am assuming that this is growing in a hanging basket and trailing down? Does it flower?

    Shawn if it flowers I'm not aware of it... yoo hoo Karyn help us out.

    that is so cool indeed. Looks like each section is tied up with one of those leaves. It sure grew alot in that year. Assuming that it was not THAT long lol

    Interesting. Never saw one like that.
    Question: don't all cacti bloom eventually?

  • 17 years ago

    I hate to say it but I call it cucumber cactus too. I'm not sure what the real name is and mine hasn't bloomed yet. It's a cool looking succulent with the ivy-like foliage.

    I love it Karyn. Also one other you sent me is growing real good. It's somewhat red and sort of looks like a hand... remember ? and it makes white berries... jog jog your memory..

    That IS really cool looking!! Love those ivy type leaves on it, and it even looks like tehya re on a vine climbing the cactus..thats really cool!

    The one with the white berries is a pseudo rhipsalis. I'm sure it has other names but I can't think of them offhand.

    This is really cool. I got a piece of this in my swap box a few weeks ago, (thank you, Norma!) and he's a quirky little feller.

    This is actually called Veld Grape. I have had mine for 4 years now, and the flowers are the leafs..

    Sorry, I huess i need to introduce myself. My name is Carolyn, I live in North Florida. I love all types of plants, trees, etc. I love prog. I actually started out with two pieces of the Veld Grape about years ago, and now have two 12" hanging pots full of the pretty plant. Mine hang under a tree.. During the winter I bring them in. I have Angel Trumpets, Plumerias, Desert Roses, Christmas Cactus, Spider plants, Hoyas, Different spiecies of Cactus/Succ., Pencil plants, firesticks, and alot of diffenert other plants.. I will try and get pictures and figure out how to put them on here. Hope everyone has a safe Labor Weekend coming up..
