Nursery contributed plant descriptions
This is a great stapeliad that forms 3-4" long, tube shaped flowers that peel open at the ends. Great for hanging baskets. Truly a unique plant. Commonly referred to as the "carrion plant" since the flowers, which are pollinated by flies, have a very distinct odor. Great for practical jokes! Tell someone to go smell the beautiful flower...
