Most women would love to have this plant in their gardens :)
A Hoodia flowering next to the Orange river in Namibia.
Hoodia is a genus of 13 species in the flowering plant family Apocynaceae, under the subfamily Asclepiadoideae. They are stem succulents, described as "cactiform" because of their remarkable similarity to the unrelated cactus family. They can reach up to 1m high and have large flowers, often with tan colour and strong smell. Several species are grown as garden plants, and one species, _Hoodia gordonii_, is being investigated for use as an appetite suppressant.

Dracula's nephew
Best viewed full size.
A *Vampire* at an airshow at the Tempe airport near Bloemfontein, South Africa. This aircraft operated from the Bram Fischer International Airport in Bloemfontein as the runway at Tempe was too short for it to land or take off.
Many years ago I was standing on the second floor of a building in Olifantsfontein near Pretoria when one of these planes came over. It's engine cut out and it dived straight down to the ground. I was waiting for it to crash, but just in time, it leveled and the engine started again. A heart stopping experience...
The *de Havilland DH.100* was a British jet fighter commissioned by the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. Following the Gloster Meteor, it was the second jet fighter to enter service with the RAF. Although it arrived too late to see combat during the war, the Vamp... more »
