Today's flowers

Here is my Today's flowers post for this week. I have this plant for over 2 years now but wasn't sure of its name. So I searched on the internet about this plant and found an information from Cactus Dean, http://members.optusnet.com.au/cactusdean/succulents.htm .

Stapelia Variegata
"Carrion, Starfish Flower, Toad Cactus"

Finger like stems with toad-like appearance. This plant has the most amazing light yellow five pointed flower with purple dots. The flower has an interesting smell as it used flies for pollination.

Have a great week!

I keep meaning to ask if you are anywhere near where all the flooding has taken place. It's been in the news so much. I want you and your family to stay safe.
