| Stapelia gigantea It isn't actually a cactus, but rather a general succulent. Looks to be very well kept. Does this particular one stink much when it blooms? |

| Yup, I agree w/ that ID, exactly. If you'd like to see more of these kinds of plants, pls. search for Stapeliad, Orchids of the Succulent World, &/or Dr. Jerry Barad, a succulent collector who has specialized in this family of plants for decades. |
