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

I was going to ask if it had a bad smell ;-)
8 Oct, 2009

Is this the one that smells like meat?
9 Oct, 2009
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.....

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