After many years without flowering my Huernia, an exotic orbea variegata cactus, just put out a flower!
This beautiful smelly flower mimics the look and smell of rotten meat in an attempt to get the flies to pollinate it.
Watercolour of succulent with smelly flower – the fleshy stalks turn purple on the ends if there is a lot of light.
