| It’s X Staparesia…
Reputed to be a natural hybrid of Tavaresia barkleyi and Stapelia gettliffei.
For scale, it’s in a 3 ½" pot. Al

| Very nice plant, Al. I can never get over the gorgeous patterns the flowers have! It's too bad they don't smell like gardenias, but their beauty makes up for it. Amy |

| Al, That's a true beauty! I love it! I love the Ascleps, but I have trouble getting them to bloom. I have several, and only one Huernia and one Duvalia rewarded me this season with blossoms. My Stapelia gigantea grew a decent-sized bud, then aborted. I just have bad luck with them. This is a really different looking one! Thanks for sharing it! Kate |

| Thanks for the comments, gang. Amy - this one has virtually no odor. I stuck my nose way up close. Kate - I think they need a lot of light. This plant managed to produce only this lone flower so far. Al |
