Hi ruweiss,

beautiful plant. The flies love these flowers. Since they have plenty of room for the eggs.

Asclepiads seem to explode due to the hot summer - Stapelia hirsuta
is a magnet to the flies who lay their eggs into the flowers.

These days I took pictures of three Stapelias at a local cactus and succulent nursery:

Stapelia ambigua with huge flowers (my hand is holding the flower up).
Stapelia baylissii
Stapelia vetula

Here have so beautiful photos accumulated.

Reply # 17: I do not think that is the S. hirsuta. Since the hair is missing. It's more of a hybrid.

Reply # 18: The S. ambigua is S. gigantea.
Are planting of Haage?

Cris: no

Peter, you are right. I took my pics at Kakteen-Haage and was surprised to see so many Stapelias flowering or in bud.

Peter, thank you for your comment about Stapelia hirsuta.  I got this plant from a friend
and because Cactii and succulents are not my main hobby I am always grateful for a good
advice.

Have you grown them from seed or cuttings?

For anyone fascinated (or disturbed ;D) by these plants there are lots more photos here.

Thanks ashley :D I've grow them from cuttings, but have already tried to grow from seed. In this moment I've one O.variegata, the only that survived from a sowing, and that were strucked by the mealy bugs on summer. Now I've three new ones that I brought to inside of the house, they are too youg and are from a O.variegata too, but with more bright colors.

Thanks Fermides, these are realy fascinating and are another of my passions :D Everyday I discover that exists one more and if I could, I would like to have them all, but I already conceptualized myself that there ae some species that do no tolerate my climate...

Another Orbea variegata, I guess var. marmorata, in flower at this moment:
