After a couple of days and nights of heavy rains and stormy weather the sun has come out and our winter flowing plants are out in all their brightest glory. One of these is the Cotyledon arbiculata, commonly known as 'Pig's Ears'.
Native to South Africa, this plant with its attractive orange-red bell-shaped flowers, has a number of medicinal uses. The fleshy part of the leaf is applied to warts and corns. Heated leaves are used as poultices for boils and other inflammations.
