Stapelia gigantea

Another massive bloom this year! Quite fetid already 🤢

😍😍😍

It's beautiful but you have admire it from a distance!😄😄

For the second year in a row this beauty has giant flower buds. Hopefully they smell less vile this year...

I remember this from last year! Beautiful but smelly!

These things are so photogenic

Wow! That is a very impressive flower! Will it bloom for awhile or are the flowers short lived?

@gjones This is the first time I've had this one bloom, so I'm not really sure! Going on a week right now and the oldest flower hasn't started to fade yet. Luckily they smell strongest in the afternoon, when I'm normally at work!

That's fairly long for such a big flower!

Looking fabulous and smelling like musky rotten flesh 👌

Wow! Fantastic display of flowers!

It finally happened! My house smells like a butt and I couldn't be happier. 😍

That is HUGE !!! Amazing 😁

That's a huge flower! Amazing!

Gigantic! 😲

Bud progress! The morning sun is showing off a hint of what the flower will look like

Seems incredibly happy!

Now those are impressive size buds! Very happy plant. Please post photos when buds open😊

Very happy! I like the way you have this hanging. It is lovely. 👏👏👏 #succulent #stapelia #stapeliagigantea #stapelia-gigantea

Should have some giant corpse-scented flowers just in time for Halloween! 💀🥀

Might even have a flower soon!

The flowers are fantastic on these plants! Is this the plant where the flower smells a bit foul or do I have the wrong plant in mind?

@gjones I've only seen them in photos but they look amazing! I have also heard they smell like rotting death though

Hope it's the beautiful flower with a tolerable scent😊

This one has grown a lot in a year!

Looks really healthy and attractive😊

This fuzzy guy seems to be flourishing

Got a bloom coming up on my stapelia! Time to find out if it's actually a gigantea

Not sure what this one is. The guy at the greenhouse told me it has balloon shaped yellow flowers that smell terrible. Obviously I had to buy it immediately. #plantid

It's a stapelia of some kind
