I am not a professional nor an expert in the Asclepiadaceae taxonomy. Any help with ID and spelling are always welcome. To up-date my list I've been using many books, journals, catalogs and other web-sites. It's been helpful, but I have more work to do. I only ship to the main 48 States. We offer 72+ hour heat packs for $4.00 each. Please read the front page for ordering information.

Stapelia flavopurpurea - Is
a tufted cactus-like plant to 10 cm, with wonderful small-sized flowers that
have a diameter of only 3cm. They are flat, shaped like a star-fish, and
quinquefid interrupted by irregularly arranged cross wrinkles. Their color are
eye-catching: yellow, green, orange, or purple, white, with maroon overtones.
The center of the flower is white and covered with red claviform hairs. The
combination of colors is quite bizarre and lovely, very variable, even on the
same plant. S.
flavopurpurea is
one of the few species whose flowers are not distinguished by a penetrating
smell of carrion but, on the contrary, have a light sweet smell like liquorice
or honey, unusual in the Stapelia group.
Flowers with these scents may well be pollinated by bee, because the enticement
of insects depends not only on color but also in a high degree on smell. The
smells involved are not in every case the pleasant kinds produced by violets and
roses. Stapelia
flavopurpurea is
closely related to Stapelia
olivacea.
