String like Succulent with thumb sized green flowers

Joan from Masterton District

This unassuming looking succulent comes into its own when it flowers.
Thumb size green cylindrical flowers with open top and about 5 little claws curving over the open top.
Has a trailing or climbing habit.

Name: Ceropegia Ampliata
Probably more an indoor plant. If you are comfortable growing Hoyas it likes much the same treatment. Suitable in a hanging container

The plant for sale is the one in the pot with the tendrils. A nice healthy established plant.
Not very common.
I got my original plant from a friend when we were living in the Bay of Plenty over 45 years ago.
Easy to grow.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Update " Ive added a picture of the second and last plant I have of this by request.

Price: $15

Share your New Zealand music memories...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.

In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...

Prospa

A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.

The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.

The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'

Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
