Stapelia scitula - lone flower. The stems of the plant themselves are an eerie magenta in UVIVF, so I think it takes isolation to really do justice to this crazy flower.

Something weird and slightly spooky for you here: Stapelia scitula. Stapeliads are a diverse group of succulents with jaggy leaves with pseudo-spikes, and are commonly called carrion flower for having a smell similar to rotting meat. These flowers grew on a cutting I received within a few months of rooting. While these do not have any major degree of stink (have to be right up on them with the nose), they do smell badly enough that they seem to attract flies. Some of these colors of plant fluorescence are entirely novel to me, particularly the strong magenta/purple on the leaves.
