Wow, that's amazing Milan. The full size pic is incredible! Looks like it would smell bad...is it stinky?

Thank you both.
The flower was only completely open for 2 days but stuck my nose right up there before it closed and found it to be odourless :)
BTW for better sizing of the actual plant: it is in a 1.5" dia. pot.

What do you feed your plants PanamonCreel? They are obviously a happy bunch to bloom so readily for you.

BTW do you know of a source for lithop seeds? I had an email from a member wanting some.

Lilypon, I sing to my plants which makes the plants grow and the neighbours wilt :)
Sorry no idea on sources for Lithop seeds.
Shannon, it's my pleasure ;)

Pretty cool pix. There are websites online that will sell you some of the neatest-flowering Huernias & Stapelias. I particularly like the one that resembles a lifesaver.
