Stapelia Gigantea with a fuzzy bud.

| I received some cuttings of Stapelia Gigantea a few months ago. Got it planted and all I was hoping for is that it will root well and grow nicely until next season. To my surprised I noticed not only it rooted and started to look all nice and plump, but it also started to grow flower buds! Now that is a unexpected surprise! I took this photo today and this is the biggest of them. I counted 3 more smaller ones. I really cannot wait for it to open. With the dark, hairy and stinky flowers :) | Kilka miesięcy temu otrzymałam kilka odnóżek Stapelii Giganteii. Posadziłam ją jak należy i liczyłam tylko na to, że wypuści korzenie i ładnie podrośnie do przyszłego sezonu. A tu, ku mojemu zaskoczeniu, ona nie tylko ładnie się napompowała, puściła masę korzeni, ale też zaczęła produkować pąki! To ci niespodzianka! Zdjęcia robiłam dzisiaj i to jest największy z nich. Są jeszcze 3 mniejsze. Już się nie mogę doczekać aż rozkwitną. Wielkie, ciemne, włochate i śmierdzące kwiatuszki :) |

| The flower buds as well as the stem are covered in very tiny little hair that feel like so soft and nice! Like the softest suede or a newborn kitten fur. The flower should be pretty hairy inside too, but for that I still have to wait a little bit. | Zarówno kwiaty, jak i łodygi pokryte są bardzo delikatnym meszkiem. Super mięciutki, jak najdelikatniejszy zamsz, albo nowo narodzony kotek. Bardzo przyjemny w dotyku. Kwiaty też powinny być owłosione od środka, ale na to jeszcze troszkę muszę poczekać. |

Beautiful buds! I'm pretty sure that you can grow anything! ❤️

You really captured the texture here :)
Thanks! You should touch them! So nicey :)
They really like the heat: not too much full sun but the hotter it is, the better they flower
I am expecting awesome flowering them! It was supper hot when she was growing. And she gets dappled sun, not direct. Looks like she is happy :)
Sounds perfect. They grow under bushes in nature
I have a tall Crassula blocking the sun. At least for now. For winter will have to move it, so it doesn't get the rain.
And the bud is bigger today!
Yes! Make sure to move it out of the rain, they get stem rot and die if they get cold and wet.
