This is my star flower which is blooming in an odd time but it is so pretty. If you look at it closely the hairs on it are so unique and it looks like something you'd find under the ocean. It attracts flies so I assume that it smells like some sort of meat to them. It blooms once a year it likes to bloom hidden like on the backside of a pot or something like that it's hard to find them at first. They also like to be fertilized that's why these guys are blooming outside of season I believe because I fertilize them a lot. To tell you the truth I don't even know when the right type of season is but they usually bloom for me and December. If anybody has any information on them please post it, I love it I appreciate it. I also have another larger one in a pod form so it's getting ready to bloom as soon as that does I'll post it. #starflower #starfishflower #succulents #succulentsofinstagram #succulent #succulentgarden #blooming #instabloom #beautiful #purple #hairy (at Dove Canyon, California)
