Stapelia

Rats tail is a different plant here lol ... strange how the same name goes for different plants in different countries.
This looks interesting :o)

The botanical name is Aporocactus flagelliformis. It's my first cactus, a gift from a friend. I'd appreciate any advice you could give:)

It doesn't look like Aporocactus flagelliformis. I'll put a photo of that one for you in a minuit.
This one looks to me, like a type of Stapelia, which is a succulent plant, but not belonging to the cactus family.

I've uploaded it now. Have a look ... It isn't the same as this.
Sorry I don't mean to offend you :o)

None taken:)
