About The flowers of the succulent Hoodia gordonii. Once used by the San bushmen to still their hunger pains by eating the fleshy stems, it is now grown commercially and marketed as a very popular slimming agent in dietary programs. The product was of course extensively researched for its effectiveness and safety and was released after worldwide tests. The marketing of this plant product is the first succesful case where an indigenous SA people group is getting royalties from the sales of the product due to their claims on the intellectual property rights for the use of the plant for this purpose.

Neat story/description of this still life, Joggie! I like the colour congruence of flowers and body of the plant. A handsome arrangement and fascinating for us in other parts of the world.
