Amazing! #Seedpods!! #firsttime this #Stapelia grandiflora var compacta has formed seedpods. #stapeliagrandiflora-compacta #southerncalifornia 27 March 2020

How old is this one? (Trying to figure out if I will ever see mine bloom!)

Cool looking

Kari, I got this a little over a year ago, but it was not a baby. Once they acclimate, they usually bloom. My first few years for my first Stapelia it did nothing. Patience, my friend. 🤗💕

I agree, @lesliecole49 💕

This #Stapelia grandiflora var compacta has been blooming a lot this Summer. 💗 #stapelia-grandiflora #stapeliagrandiflora-compacta #stinky #southerncalifornia 2 October 2019

Love it 😍

Love it! I have a stapelia , not sure of the variety, but haven’t seen much growth on it. So Pretty!!!

I agree @cyndi! 😎💗

@juliesgarden 💞

@pmulder just wait. They seem to take a while to get going and then the first flower forms. 👏👏👏💞

Incredible isn't it! 😍

It’s beautiful 😍

It is Jacqui! It has given so many flowers this year. @Muzz67

Katy, I think of these as small, because I compare their 5 1/2" spread to the 12" of the Stapelia gigantea. 😂 Perspective I guess. 😎 📏 @gjones

I agree @dinaautore 😁💗
