When we sat down by our diningtable to have breakfast this morning we saw that our Stapelia grandiflora (Starfish flower or Stor ordensblomst) had open one of it's spud. And within some hours it got completely open and curled. It's a really beautiful flower, but it smell terrible - to attract flies. Here is a great site. I wish I could have other sorts of this. So if anyone have one I'd be happy if you would share a cutting :)
WOW ! I've never seen a blossom like that! IT's beautiful, even if it's smelly. :o)
ReplyDeletewow, now that is a far out looking flower! amazing!
ReplyDeleteJeg digger den kaktusen der altså! Hadde en avlegger en gang men desverre overlevde den ikke. Mulig jeg må ut på gamlejobben en tur for å få meg en ny avlegger. Blomsten var kul, men luktet ganske ekkelt egentlig etter det jeg kan huske *ler*
ReplyDeleteunnskyld ikke kaktus...men sukkulent. Går litt for for seg innimellom
ReplyDeleteEn sånn har jeg aldri sett - så fantastisk flott! takk for titten, synd den luktet ille da *lol*
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of or seen a flower like that. VERY interesting! :)
ReplyDelete......so......is it attracting flies? Curious. lol
Tammy, no we don't have many flies here at the moment *lol*
ReplyDeleteSince the weather isn't very warm, we keep the door and windows closed.
That is amazing, but to be honest, I'm not surprised it's stinky. We bought a fly trap device for our backyard and when we added water to it, we got the smell of liquid poo. I guess flies like poo so it makes sense but .. ick!
ReplyDeleteNydelig blomst - skulle bare luktet godt også...
ReplyDeleteMen hvordan får du til å lage sånn mange små bilder på et stort liksom...?
Takk for tipset - og god helg til deg og :)
ReplyDeleteHei - I was searching the net for "ordensblomst", because I have one myself. It opened today. It's got a yellow-green main colour with dark burgundy spots like a leopard. I don't know what kind of "ordensblomst" it is. Got it at a market in Southern Spain (where I have an apartment), and don't know if it would transport from here. If you are interested we could give it a try. I live in Oslo. I*m in Spain the next week. Du kan kontakte meg på arellsvekrøllalfapunktumno
ReplyDeleteHvis det ikke er for sent, kunn ejeg veldig gjerne ha tenkt meg en avlegger! Jeg kan bytte i andre sukkulenter, ellers har jeg masse pelargoner hvis du liker det?
ReplyDeleteTusen takk for koselig kommentar i bloggen min:) Godt å høre at det ikke bare er her kleshaugene vokser av seg selv ;)
