| October 14. 2005 Some Stapeliads in flower now - back in the greenhouse Orbea longidens The plant had colored up really nicely during our sunny and hot Summer but now seem to revert back to a more greenish appearance after eight days of rain/shade in a row in the greenhouse. |
| and another look - |
 |
| Frerea indica, this is a small plant which I had gotten this Summer from Shoalcreek Succulents. It is an unusual Stapeliad since it has true leaves. It seems to be easy to grow, a broken off piece rooted very quickly and flowered. The flowers measure a little more than one cm. |
 |
| Here are two unidentified Stapeliads, the first one below is surely not gigantea, the flowers are smaller and more reddish, perhaps it is a var. of Stapelia grandiflora?? |
| Here is the second Stapelia noid. There seems to be a huge variability in these plants, could it be Stapelia asterias? It is pretty! |
