Stapelia hirsuta, a member of the "stinky starfish plants". These African succulents produce flowers that expertly mimic dead animals in order to attract pollinating flies. The degree of flesh-mimicry is insane. Theres hair, the petals are fleshy in both feel and appearance, and of course, they STINK haha. 

Stapelia hirsuta. The flowers imitate dead animals, right down to the hair!
