The Stapelia gigantea or Stapelia nobilis is one of my favorite plants. Some may know this plant as the Starfish flower. It get’s this name from the starfish shaped flowers that it produces. Other than the beauty of it’s bloom, this Stapelia is know for the smell of it’s bloom. The bloom smell resembles that of rotting flesh. This smell attracts insects for pollination.
