Has anyone ever seen Harpagophytum in cultivation?

I have begun reading about Harpagophytum procumbens and was wondering if anyone has ever seen this plant in cultivation or has had experience growing it? Looks like another wicked seed pod maker!



Thanks.

San't that I have. Found a link to a HUGE picture,though. It looks available on several websites.

Very pretty plant.

I agree. The plant grows tubers just like a potato! It also seems that people are harvesting it in Africa for medicinal purposes....
