Ceropegia Species, Carrion Plant, Starfish Flower, Starfish Cactus Ceropegia grandiflora #195815516
Description
These plants arenââ¬â¢t exactly cactus, but are members of the succulent group of plants. They are soft stemmed plants without spines spreading out from a central point. They are thickly skinned and resemble carrion flesh. Starfish flower cactus may produce amazing five-petaled flowers that exude a rather unpleasant odor. The scent attracts flies and other insects, which pollinate the blooms. Flowers are red to brown and may be mottled with a couple of colors. Stapelia is the family name of the starfish flower cactus. The ââ¬Ågiganteaââ¬Â is the most commonly collected, as a showy specimen with foot wide flowers.
