Funny thing - I was checkout the plants yesterday afternoon (patrolling for mealies and making sure the heat and humidity are not causing any issues - that I can prevent anyways...), and after seeing this flower I noticed a pretty unsavory smell. I commented on the odor as La passed by, and she said she had sprinkled some iron supplement around her plants earlier.

More Stapeliad Flowers
The Stapelia grandiflora is pushing out flowers now. This one in bloom is number three, and you can see number four is close behind. The plant on the other side of the planter box is now showing developing inflorescence so we'll have these starfish flowers around for a number of weeks.
