My Husband got it from his Father years ago who had gotten it from his aunt. He says it will bloom a huge red trumpet flower when root bound. The stems are round and then broadens out to a flat leaf, it has thorns, some kind of cactus or succulent. It was almost dead when I got it took about a year before it started to grow now in the last year and a half is has tripled in size.

Thanks
Jokenna
