What smells like rotting flesh and looks like some kind of underwater or alien creature? Spooky, scary #StapeliaGigantea. The flowers on this badboy are as the species name suggests: #gigantic. #stapelia #stapeliadseason #apocynaceae #milkweedfamily #spookyplants #peopleeater #starfishcactus #notacactus! #succulents #carrionplant #unusualflowers #unusualblooms (at San Diego County, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj5sZJtO90t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This Stapelia gigantea, otherwise known as a Starfish Cactus, has just started to bloom on our back patio. Its large 5” blooms look alien and are VERY cool, but boy do they STINK! 💩😵‍💫🪰 #starfishcactus #flowerporn #floweringplants #starfishcactusflower #cactuslover #amazingnature (at Catalina Foothills, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CinXw0NJnSSLGq4o4-nCTM1QKpRUq925I3iNfM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
