Ah, but neither comes close to a Stapelia in full-bloom...
My latest plant aquisition is a Stapelia hirsuta (*very* hairy flowers - looks
more like a tarantula than a starfish...), which I grew from a cutting. I
think has one of the more interesting (and probrably "fragrant") flowers of
this genus. Pity it's not a CP though... ;-)
BTW, I might have a go at making a Byblis tip cutting - our gigantea has
started producing a couple of new shoots at the base and the old stem is still
alive and growing, so I'll prune the old one off. How far below the tip
should I cut the cutting?
