Orbea lepida - the flower

Oh wow that's lovely Hywel very exotic.

Thank you :)

It looks like a tapestry Hywel.

So it does :o)

It gets a wow from me too!
Are they whiffy like the Stapelia are?

Thank you :)
There's no smell at all with this one.

That's an amazing flower Hywel.

Thank you - and there's another bud on it now :)

Thank you :o) It doesn't flower often.

Looks like a jungle flower a beauty.

Thank you :o)

Your welcome Hywel

Hi Hywel

I know nothing of these plants even after all these years being a avid gardener , are they ok for a windowsill in a sunny spot , and are they easy to get hold off ?

I only have cold greenhouse so I think that rules that out keeping them over winter etc , I know you have posted photo's before and they captured my interest then

Gg

They like plenty of light, but not too much direct sun.
They don't like frost. It will kill them.

I had this one many years ago as a cutting from a friend of my mother.
I bought a different one in Wyevale last year.
I suppose you could get them on line if you have a look.

thnks for the info

Thats amazing Hywel it looks so exotic and unusual !

Thank you :o) It doesn't flower often ...

I first thought this was a Rafflesia flower. nice one!

Thank you :)
