--------------------------------------

A charming curiosity of the plant world. It is a South African sub-tropical bulb in the Liliaceae family. It can live underground but is much more interesting planted on top of the soil and grown as a succulent. They have adapted to drought and flood conditions, making them easy for anyone to grow. The green fleshy bulbs are long lived and slow growing. They can split and produce smaller bulbs. They do have a set of leaves for a short time early in life. A soft green twining stem shoots up from the center and will scamper up most anything. It's actually a flower stem!
