The Stapelia dummeri is an intriguing and decorative succulent, recognized for its fleshy, green, and quadrangular stems, often slightly toothed. Like other stapelias, it produces star-shaped flowers, usually in shades of red, brown, or purple, sometimes with patterns. Its blooming is spectacular... and accompanied by a particular odor designed to attract pollinators. Rest assured, the smell is noticeable up close but is not overpowering in a well-ventilated room.
