I’ve only seen these once when I was in Guatemala. Gorgeous flowers

We saw so many of these in Tanzania. They are so interesting -- but we never were able to see one of the flowers. Thanks for sharing!

I always forget that they grow upside down! Lovely vibrant shot.

That’s cool. I eat several a week, but I didn’t really know anything about the plant. Very nice photo.

mmm...we had them growing in our back yard ...living in an apartment now with no garden, this photo reminds me there is a lot to miss about not having a garden
