    One of the tropical pitcher plants. The "flowers" shown are the pitchers used to trap insects, and not actually flowers.

    A flower of something in the family Apocynaceae, subfamily Asclepiadoideae. Maybe Ceropegia?

    That sounds better. For one thing the pitcher plants probably never produce pitchers on forking stems.

    Its definitely Ceropegia sandersonii.

    Thanks a lot. I was the first to reply but the moderator held up my posting for so long it looks like I was the last. Thanks for nothing Mosquin. You must be really proud of yourself.

    Umm, actually not. The posts appear in the order they were posted, moderated or not. There was a different thread where I noticed this was the case, but what are we going to do? Your language borders on extremely rude sometimes, so in those cases it isn't welcome here. As for myself, it is summertime and I have holidays and weekends - so there isn't really a good solution.
