Just picked this up from my local nursery man.
Any Ids?
The flower is approx 3"(76mm) from tip to tip and the largest stem is 4" long x 1" wide at the widest section.

Nice one Tony..

It almost resembles this
Stapelia paniculata ssp. scitula

I dunno the name, but I have a NOID plant that sure looks very similar. Hopefully you'll (we'll?) get an ID for it.

I can tell you it's not Stapelia paniculata ssp. scitula though...I have that plant and the stems are upright, skinny (about 1cm max), and the flowers are about the size of a quarter.

I guess Buck ran out of time to break out the books

he showed it to me last week wondering what it might be. It wasn't very stinky as I recall. I'll check my CD, see if it matches anything.

Yah, We speculated it might be a hybrid.
Im sure he will be bouncing it off of Martin soon.

That's right. Sitting in London Heathrow right now waiting for our plane to Cape Town. We'll see Martin on Saturday. That exact plant is not on his site. We'll see.
