It's Stapelia veriegata. I have one.

thank you Hywel...ill be able to sleep now...he he he

yw sandra, and well done hywel another mistery solved :o)

Weirdy!!! It looks like something meat-eating you'd find growing in the jungle!

it smells a bit gone off meaty.......fly polinated...

very nice Sandra...looks like a sea creature....

I was going to ask if it had a bad smell ;-)

its going over now. but the petals are very textured to touch..ive so enjo it...hope it does it again next year...

Is this the one that smells like meat?

yes it is Tt. its not that strong a smell. the bueaty outdoes its fragrance.

Ah, fond memories. I had this (now called Orbea variegata) as a kid. It's sometimes called the Starfish Cactus. Not remotely related to the true Cacti of course but the flower does look like a starfish.

i like the starfish name..;-)) so its a stapelia that has changed into an Orbea...i wish they would make their minds up.....

Lovely very unusual indeed

It does not look real, love it......very exotic.

im sp looking forward to more flowers next years....

Oh yes.........

This is the corpse flower isn't it? Big, lovely, and smelly. A good one still. :-)

thats it....but worth the smell for such a great flower

So you have to hold your nose when you go near it?
