Wow, that is an absolute stunner Peter :o
-
Very nice, Peter! Although I guess the smell isn't that nice, isn't it?
-
that is with the odor generally greatly exaggerated. While there are some who are very sick. But this does not smell here.

That's nice...even better if your hybrid doesn't smell :)

The colour is wonderful and the shape is so sculptural. 8)

What astounding and bizarre flowers! Thank you for posting - I've never seen anything like them.
The last one looks kind of... sore. ;D ;D

My word, that is fantastic. 8) They do like exotic creatures from under the sea ;)
-
An extremely unpleasant bad smell led me to Stapelia gigantea with its really
giant flowers- 34 cm from tip to tip. Many fans were also around - flies in masses!
-
Extraordinary pictures, Rudi.... it is beautiful .... but I think I can almost smell it from here :P
-
Hi ruweiss,
beautiful plant. The flies love these flowers. Since they have plenty of room for the eggs.
-
Asclepiads seem to explode due to the hot summer - Stapelia hirsuta
is a magnet to the flies who lay their eggs into the flowers.
-
These days I took pictures of three Stapelias at a local cactus and succulent nursery:
Stapelia ambigua with huge flowers (my hand is holding the flower up).
Stapelia baylissii
Stapelia vetula
-
Peter, congratulations, you've amazing plants :o :o :o Do you still are interested in an exchange? ;)
-
Here have so beautiful photos accumulated.
Reply # 17: I do not think that is the S. hirsuta. Since the hair is missing. It's more of a hybrid.
Reply # 18: The S. ambigua is S. gigantea.
Are planting of Haage?
Cris: no
-
Peter, you are right. I took my pics at Kakteen-Haage and was surprised to see so many Stapelias flowering or in bud.
-
Thanks for your answer Peter ;)
-
Peter, thank you for your comment about Stapelia hirsuta. I got this plant from a friend
and because Cactii and succulents are not my main hobby I am always grateful for a good
advice.

Some of my ascleps 8)
6 and 7 - Stapelia lendertziae

Have you grown them from seed or cuttings?
What extraordinary flowers and photos in this thread.
For anyone fascinated (or disturbed ;D) by these plants there are lots more photos here (http://www.flickr.com/groups/stapeliads/pool/).

Hi Cris,

Calotropis procera

Some of my ascleps 8)
Cris,
some wonderfully bizarre and fascinating flowers! :o
They look like they were created by a science fiction writer!
Marvelous!
cheers

Thanks ashley :D I've grow them from cuttings, but have already tried to grow from seed. In this moment I've one O.variegata, the only that survived from a sowing, and that were strucked by the mealy bugs on summer. Now I've three new ones that I brought to inside of the house, they are too youg and are from a O.variegata too, but with more bright colors.
Thanks Fermides, these are realy fascinating and are another of my passions :D Everyday I discover that exists one more and if I could, I would like to have them all, but I already conceptualized myself that there ae some species that do no tolerate my climate...
Another Orbea variegata, I guess var. marmorata, in flower at this moment:
-
Super coloring. I have also.
-
Stapelia engleriana
-
Pseudolithos migiurtinus
-
Ascleps are quickly taking off ..... so maybe soon there will be more
-
One could believe these plants were from another planet, they are so "different" 8)
-
Microloma sagittatum Western Cape, July

Microloma sagittatum Western Cape, July
Another first for the forum, Ashley !
-
I love the way it mimicked the barbed wire it was growing through 8)
-
Rather impressive camouflage, for sure.
-
It was blooming when we visited South Africa last week.... was stumped as to what I was looking at until I chanced upon your post
-
Very nice Gordon. Was this near Cape Town?
We found it further north, around Paternoster.
-
Just shy of Paternoster near Langebaan. If it weren't for your post, I'd still be wracking my brain trying to identify it!
-
Huernia zebrina. Beautiful or just strange. Can't really decide...
-
Orbea variegata from SRGC seedex seed
-
Tweedya caerulea

Ceropegia simonae, from southern Madagascar.

Hallo Ashley,
deine Orbea variegata ist eine schöne Hybride. Keine echte Art.
-
Many thanks Peter.
Although the seed came to me under that name, unfortunately I don't know enough about these plants to spot the misidentification.
