How absolutely striking, does it stink!

mine has a bloom too, except it is pointing towards the ground and is blocked by another piece of the plant. I didnt even see it until I did my weekly inspection when watering. but I am seeing where some new blooms might be coming in and I am having some interesting growth on the ends. The new growth is a reddish color whereas before it was usually a brighter/lighter green.

p.s. They dont stink

Very nice picture of a very pretty flower!

My Huernia schneideriana bloomed in August. Mine looks reddish still, too. I started with the long branch on the right.

I repotted it today and was really surprised at how root bound it was! Good, healthy, sweet smelling roots, so all is good. But I did find a couple of mealies hiding in the middle. Glad I repotted today and caught it before it went too far.

Really nice plant, Crenda. How long did it grow into that size?

... and as Deva33 wrote - they really don't stink.

It was a hitchhiker in some sedum I had purchase a little over a year ago. Being outside all year probably impacted the bloom time for me. It got a lot of rain during the summer, and watering is really cut back in our dry winters. (Gritty mix helps my plants survive the rainy season.)

Here is a picture from January this year.

Oh, it grows really fast. I have experience with other succulents, but huernias and similar plants are new in my collection. :)

You can see the fascination of succulent Asclepiads here - it's a wonderful album.

Mine is exploding! I have to buy a larger pot every year. If anyone would like some cuttings this spring let me know!
