Ceropagia stapeliformis is definitely on of my favourite Asclepiads.

Very nice Tim, I think the Ceropegias have the most intriguing flowers, there's even one species with a built-in umbrella over the flower... (C. sandersonii).

Cactusveda, some Ceropegias have tuber like growths with long vine-like growth and succulent leaves, - as in C. woodii, while others have succulent stems such a C. stapeliiformis & C. fusca.
There are more than 160 species, but I don't know whether there are any that are not considered succulent.
