at0m Posted July 1, 2012 Found this little guy tagging along with the brug. I picked up. I dug it out as carefully as possible but it appears to only have the single root attached. The spines are very soft to the touch barely more than protrusions of flesh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Shroomeup Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Yah Stapelia for sure. Stapelia lepida i think. They stink weird and mimic rotten flesh to atracked blowies to fertalize Cool plants Edited July 1, 2012 by Shroomeup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Stillman Posted July 1, 2012 Or Huernia my wife collects a heap of all of them Hoodia, Huernia and Stapellia or Stapaloids in general. When they flower they are amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tonic Posted July 1, 2012 A stapeloid. It's a succulent. I think they are now Orbea? Can't remember. Very interesting, albeit stinky flowers. Enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 at0m Posted July 1, 2012 Hoping it's the one without the stinky flower then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Sallubrious Posted July 1, 2012 Hoping it's the one without the stinky flower then I'd have my money on a stink flower too It's narrower than my S. zebrinas so maybe Shroomup is on the money. The flower will be the key to the ID Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 at0m Posted July 1, 2012 I'd have my money on a stink flower too It's narrower than my S. zebrinas so maybe Shroomup is on the money. The flower will be the key to the ID I'll post again when there's a flower then. Until then, we'll let it be as it doesn't appear to stink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Sallubrious Posted July 1, 2012 I just realised that my zebrina is a Huernia, so disregard what I said last night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
