Stapeliads aka the Carrion Star Flower
A new passion for me. ...STAPELIADS, aka stinky plants that are pollinated by flies. I have grown
Dracunculus vulgaris for years, apologies to my next door neighbor. I love the form and flowers of these awesome succulents from South Africa. Such a cool looking plant that grows quite well in containers, I love them in plain clay pots. I recommend a visit to the following link!

There are more than a hundred species of this member of the milkweed family. The velvety gray green stems are low growing, branch upward and resemble cactus. They are shallow rooted and and need to dry a bit between waterings. They need bright light but will burn in full sun.
