Stapelia planiflora: smell warning!
Dear #Greggers, Word to the wise: Don’t. Buy. These! They start to flower and it stinks! Be forwarned! The smell attracts flies like no one’s business and it’s just gross! 🤢 If I didn’t like the way it looks when it’s not in bloom, I would just seal it in a bag and take it out with the trash in the morning. Good grief! 😮💨🥃 I can’t breathe! 🤮 Send Help! 🫣
I wonder if the deer will eat it. Maybe not. 😵💫😵💫🚮

@planthoe40 yes, I had no idea until a few months ago. I didn’t want it to bloom but it now explains the flies that were coming around and the snell I couldn’t place. I kept saying, “It smells like a dead animal”. No, it was the flower. 😤
@Sassylimey I kept mine outdoors and brought it in. I kept seeing tons of flies and smelled something awful this past summer but I couldn’t figure it out. Well, here it is. I should have left it out longer. Much longer. It’s gross. 🫣😵💫🫣😵💫🤢
@QueenSiricote I think you’ll be quite surprised by the smell. I was caught off-guard by it. Nose-hairs singed. 🤣🤣🤣
