Stapelia Variegata Succulent Plants
Stapelia variegata, also known as the Carrion Flower, is a striking succulent native to southern and southwestern Africa. Belonging to the Asclepiadaceae (milkweed) family, it features thick, angular stems and produces star-shaped maroon flowers with intricate mottled patterns.
While the blooms are visually captivating, they emit a faint scent reminiscent of decaying organic matter—an adaptation that attracts blowflies for pollination. Despite its unusual fragrance, this plant is a prized addition to exotic succulent collections and thrives in warm, dry environments.
