About a thousand species of Peperomias have been described, mainly from South America, although a few (17) are found in Africa. Many of these plants are perennial epiphytes growing on rotten logs and they have thick stems and fleshy leaves, some with leaf windows. Most Peperomias have tiny flowers which are packed into a characteristic greenish or brown conical spike like an inverted catkin. A few species have more attractive flowers such as the white, scented clusters of spikes produced by P. fraseri from Ecuador.

Many species are non-succulent and a few of these are popular house plants.

Once upon a time, there was a tall branch in the very front.  During one of our heavy rain storms, it broke most of the branch off, thus creating a very "short" branch.  Recently, I saw a new branch growing from the top-side of the broken branch AND a brand new branch growing up through the dirt.  More photos to come :)
