Cool Stapeliad Flowers

I'm not entirely sure about this plant's identification - some references point to a Huernia, but I'll keep looking.  For now, I'll enjoy the cool flowers it is pumping out - they totally look like road kill meat!!!

New Year - Tavaresia barklyii Blooming

The big Tavaresia is starting the New Year off right!!!





A few new shoots emerging from the central section can be seen as well.  I'm looking forward to seeing this plant continue to grow and develop.

Another One Identified!!!

Duvalia sulcata


This one finally flowered two days ago - and checking on it this morning, the flower is still wide open.  I'll try and take another picture this evening.



These asclepiads are especially hard to identify - until they flower that is!!!

Stinking The Place Up

The Stapelia grandiflora is still flowering.  This time is really smelled bad...



I'm not sure if the white things are small maggots or the pollen sacks busted open...

CSSH September 2017 Meeting - Asclepiads

Another awesome meeting!!!  Full house and a great topic - Asclepiads to include Hoyas, Huernias, Stapelias, Ceropegia, and my favorite - Pseudolithos.







Here are some pictures of the plants that were brought in.




















The "My Favorite Plant" presenters brought in Astrophytums, Myrmecodias, and Stapelia gigantea - and a few of the other plants around the meeting












We had a really great time and we were able to pick up some plants we don't already have.  La picked up a new ti plant, Noe got a Hoya and I got two new types of stapeliads.
