    Hi!

    I hope someone can help me ID this amazing plant: http://www.infojardin.com/foro/showthread.php?t=167197
    I'm sure I have seen it somewhere, it's soooo annoyingly familiar!!!

    Grrrrr... but unfortunately I can't figure out it's name, even though it's flowers are very-very-very specific... :((( HEEEELEP!!!

    (Hm, maybe it was here, in the "Botany Photo of the Day" topic too... ?)

    Thanks!
    Lila

    Thanks Michael! But I'm not sure it's really a stapeliad (Asclepiadaceae), (or an Apocynaceae :)... :(
    Hm, I still don't know what is it, but it looks like a woody plant (pics: http://www.infojardin.com/foro/showthread.php?t=167197
