Cynanchum marnierianum is a strange member of the milkweed family originating in Madagascar. The plant consists entirely of leafless stems, usually more brown than green and largely looking dead.

I received my Cynanchum as roughly 6" cuttings, and after a few years and 2-3 feet of growth I finally had a flowering.

Limestone Towers, Madagascar
Photograph by Stephen Alvarez, National Geographic
A city of limestone towers rises in western Madagascar. Sharp, steep, and brittle, the maze of rock in Tsingy de Bemaraha national park and reserve has repelled all but a few explorers and scientists, leaving large parts of the region—and countless resident creatures—unknown to humans.
