Echinopsis which is placed in the Cactaceae family, is a large genus of 128 species of cacti which grow naturally in the South American countries of Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay and Uruguay. They grow in sandy or gravel soils on hillsides and in rocky crevices. They range in size from large tree like species, to small species such as Echinopsis chamaecereus, the peanut cactus. They have large, showy flowers which seldom last longer than a day; however they are such prolific bloomers that they can be covered with flowers for days on end. Echinopsis is distinguished from other genera by the length of the flower tube, the form and size of their stems, and from where the flowers occur on the stem.           Some common names include hedgehog cactus, sea-urchin cactus and Easter lily cactus. Due to the large number or species, and large number of variations, it has made classification of species in this genus very difficult. This has resulted in a large number of synonyms for Echinopsis, most of which used to be considered separate genera, but are now included in the genus Echinopsis. All these synonyms are still widely used by collectors and enthusiasts and there is much debate and controversy as to the correct classification. The name comes from the Greek word echinos meaning 'spiny', 'hedgehog' or 'sea urchin', and opsis meaning 'likeness' or looks like. Echinopsis can be grown as pot plants and make interesting features on a sunny veranda. They also make an attractive addition to a rockery or water-wise garden. Echinopsis rhodotricha is a species of cacti that is native to the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Paraguay and north eastern Argentina. The name rhodotricha comes from the Greek words rhodos meaning 'rose' and trichos meaning 'hair', referring to the hairs on the flower's tube. There are many synonyms including Echinocactus forbesii, Echinocactus adolphofriedrichii, Echinopsis forbesii, Echinopsis pentlandii var. forbesii, Echinopsis spegazzinii, Echinopsis validates and Echinopsis validates var. forbesii. They have a group or clump forming growth habit, with each stem reaching a diameter of up to 30 cm and a height of 30 to 80 cm. There are between 8 to 18 wavy ribs with areoles spaced between 1.5 to 2.5 cm apart. The spines are yellowish brown, with one central spine (sometimes absent) bent upwards up to 5cm long. They bare white funnel-shaped flowers, up to 15 cm long, which open at night and last less than a day.

Aristolochia is a large plant genus with over 500 species that is the namesake of the family Aristolochiaceae. Its members are commonly known as birthwort, pipevine or Dutchman's pipe and are widespread and occur in the most diverse climates. Aristolochia is a genus of evergreen and deciduous woody vines and herbaceous perennials. Aristolochia fimbriata, the White Veined Hardy Dutchman's Pipe, is an excellent hanging basket or container plant. Its small stem, make it more suitable than other Aristolochia for basket culture. This smaller tropical vine climbs to only 1-2 meters. It is native to Argentina, Paraguay and Southern Brazil. A rare find. A must for those who collect the unusual. It always attracts the attention by the strange flowers that are produced amongst the white-veined leaves.           Flowers are solitary and are formed under the leaves. The cute little 2.5cm to 5cm long yellow and brown flowers, resembling miniature elephant trunks, are produced along the stem all summer. The flowers are green on the tube, brown on the mouth entrance and veined purple brown inside. The mouth entrance has a bizarre and striking arrangement of hairs that stick out like a rough material. This is one of the most attractive foliage plants you can grow. This really cool deciduous groundcover Dutchman's Pipe spreads out to 75cm on little green stems. Each rounded leaf is medium green, highlighted with dramatic silver veining. In winter, the stems retreat back to the base if cultivated outside, so no invasive problems. Hardiness zones °C/5°F,-5°C/25°F) in winter. Aristolochia fimbriata likes to grow in a light and airy place, but not in direct sunlight. Keep summer temperatures from °C and winter temperatures above 10°C. Water regularly during the growth period, once or twice a week. Water no more than once a week during winter. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer every third watering throughout the growing season. It grows best in rich, well-drained soil.
