Five or six months ago, I took multiple cuttings from my Stapelia gigantia and planted them in six planter boxes on top of my terrace wall. I used them to fill in around agave that I’d planted in the middle of each box.
Once the rains came, they began spreading their prehistoric-looking tentacles…
And, the flowers have exploded in their carrion-smelling bloom, attracting green bottle flies, as designed.
I think my stinky stapelia like their new homes!
