WANTED: Stapelia Grandiflora

11 years ago

I'm looking for this Stapelia. I had a huge speciamen of it, then it just started to die on me this past fall/winter. I even took off about 8 cuttings, and they didnt take. Does anyone have this Stapelia? With the nice BIG red furry flowers? I will trade or give good old greenbacks for some rooted cuttings, even if they are not rooted. Anyone??

I have Stapelia Gigantea (Starfish Flower). It has a yellowist type flower. See picture. I also have the red kind but only a few stems and they seem hard for me to grow. If you what any, Let me know.

Hi I was just wondering if you've found this plant. I have one, and I didn't realize the blooms were the smelly kind. I would love to trade with you of you're still interested.
