Huernia Species, Red Dragon Flower

I love this plant, at least, I think the one that I have is this one, mine has a more 'burgundy' colored flower, very deep, but from all ...Read Morethe pictures I've found on the Huernia plants, and mine appears to be, this is the closest I could find. It's so easy to grow indoors. Most of the people I see here are from southern states, so I'm not sure if people realize what a great house plant this makes. One of my favorite things to do is to get it to grow in different 'settings', some of mine drape over the pot and hang, some I've allowed to form a puzzle-type ball, some I've moved 'under' the window, so they grow up instead of 'out' and 'down'. It's so forgiving and wonderful! When it grows what I call 'babies' I create other plants from them by 'diapering' them with a moist napkin, when they form roots, I share them with neighbors, etc. It's a great plant for a kid to have as a 'first plant' because it's so forgiving. I would love to get some of the other varieties, but none of the plant stores in this area (Tacoma WA) seem to be able to get them in.
