Dischidia
Available at our 3rd Avenue location (SF)
Dischidia in Escargot is what our supplier calls Dischidia -- anepiphytic vine from the Philippines related to the Hoya. What makes itunusual (other than it is grown in a small plug of coconut husk tuckedinto a giant snail shell) is that some of its leaves blow up into akidney shaped balloon, which in nature collects rainwater. It alsoproduces clusters of carmine colored flowers. It has a wire hangerready to go right up in an east or north facing window. We try to seekout the unusual and exotic at our 3rd Avenue location.
