Happy Man:)

This is a very unusual plant. It makes you laugh when look at it…I name this plant “Happy Man” Picture say thousand words….Well say what ever you want, it still look funny.
Its belong to the succulent group, doesn’t likes direct sun or too much water. I got some information from the web.
Ceropegia ampliata is a perennial twiner or scrambler with a succulent stem arising from a fleshy, tuberous rootstock. Plants occasionally branch at the nodes and can grow up to 2 m and more in length. The stems are hairless and sometimes have longitudinal grooves. The plants have fleshy tuft roots from germinating seed or fibrous roots form at the nodes where the stem touches the soil surface. Leaves are borne on terminal growth; they are very small, up to about 3 mm long, and are lanceolate or heart-shaped. The leaves are shed early and the stem is the main organ used for photosynthesis.
