awesome!

Hi there,

Cool bloom & great pic!!! Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the nice comments. I should have a few more to post in the next little while. If anyone knows the species I have here I would love to know. I am not experencied enough with these plants to identify them yet, I am mostly an orchid grower but I couldn't resist a small collection of Stapeliads.

Wow, stunning! I can't wait til I get some blooms.

Hi Mike,

I can't ID these myself, however, pls. check out site for Dr. Gerry Barad, masterful Stapeliad grower (which he often calls 'Orchids of the Succulent World'); this may also be accessable by link from Cactus Mall.

Quite likely you'll be able to match a pic or 2 to your bloom, from his extraordinary & extensive collection. Be forewarned, likely to show you many more Staps to lust over!

Hi Pirate Girl

I have been looking at a bunch of sites but there seems to be a lot of variation within certian species. I am not very sure of my results so I am going to ask the people at the Yahoo Group for Stapeliads. Looking at all of those photos convinced me that it was time to put in a few seed orders.

I took a better photo with the new camera.

I believe the correct spelling is HUERNIA, isn't it ?
