huernia zebrina bloom

[u bada]

This little guy opened for me yesterday... awww... first bloom for this little cutting/division.

This belongs to the group of succulents called stapeliads, many are from Africa, southwestern africa if I'm not mistaken. They are known for their star or starfish shaped flowers, many of which small like rotting meat, much like many bulbophyllums. Of course they're very happy here in SoCal... this one is called life saver plant I think... because i guess it looks like a life saver piece of candy... do they still sell those? hmmm...
