Got this from Sue couple years back but this is the first time it has bloomed for me. The flowers are actually darker than this in my apt lighting but I took it outside to get more light.

Very nice!! Very closely related to Stapelia! THanks for sharing that cool genus. How's the smell?

Hmmm, on another forum someone suggested it might be Huernia schneideriana and both flowers are similar. I wonder if there is any easy way to tell the two apart? ..................

Caesar, there is a faint odor -- not sure if strikes me as more fecal or something rotting. But I couldn't detect any odor until I held the flower about a centimeter under my nose.
