Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Petite, rambling stems on this succulent stapelia that turn pinkish in bright light. Flowers are proportionally large to the plant, with yellowish petals covered in fine, purple hairs, and wild looking purple tassels along each petal margin. The tassels undulate in the slightest breeze, probably to attract the flies' attention!
