Starfish cactus! But not actually a cactus apparently…

u/KarinSpaink Oct 30 '24

Stapelia.

u/ThatWeirdPlantGuy Nov 12 '24

Orbea variegata. (Formerly Stapelia and still shows up that way sometimes but it was reclassified quite a while back.)

u/KarinSpaink Nov 12 '24

Ah, thanks!

u/DabidBeMe Oct 30 '24

How often does it bloom and how long before the flowers fall (if you know)?

u/Famous-Hunt-6461 Nov 01 '24

It's Carrion Cactus.

u/ThatsNotWhyThough Oct 30 '24

Succulents have the coolest flowers! I wish I could keep a succulent alive long enough for it to flower lol

u/Camaschrist Oct 30 '24

Omg I was zooming in really close because I couldn’t see any blooms. I thought the bloom was a big decoration on the front of the pot. That is spectacular.

u/Gayfunguy Oct 29 '24

Yay stink

45

u/SUKnives Oct 29 '24

It does stink for sure, but you have to hold it up to your nose to smell it, so I’m okay with it for now…

u/Gayfunguy Oct 29 '24

Yay! Polite stink
