Stapelia Gigantela- starfish flower

Stapelia Gigantela- starfish flower. It es gifted to me by a friend of my aunt. I had no idea what type of flower it would produce. I was amazed at the size of this star-shaped and alien-like flower. It was larger than my hand. It has continued to bloom year after year!
