Interested in Asclepiads?

Hello everyone! I recently realized the lack of any online forum for Asclepiads (Classified in the family Apocynaceae), so I decided to make one! This family includes the well-known houseplants, Hoya, Stapelia, Ceropegia, etc., as well as Milkweed (Asclepias), a common garden plant. 

If you are interested in joining to view or share information about these plants, here is a link to the site:

The forum can be accessed on mobile using the app Tapatalk

Down below are just a few examples of this beautiful and diverse plant family:

ID requested for this huernia species.

I picked up some broken off segments from a garden center floor, where the plants were being sold with a generic cactus/succulent label.

Since it was at a large chain store, it must be something widely cultivated.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

My precious~ This is suspected to be a Huernia Hystrix, but no-one has seen it bloom I'm told. I've never seen a crested asclepiad so whoooo The people running the show caught me as I left and were very HNNNNNG over it. As they should be.
