A few Stapeliads from today - a couple that came from Herts Mike, (many thanks!)
Hernia guttata
Orbea semitubiflora
And a rather nice hybrid of Huernia insigniflora called ‘Olga 2’ a Russian hybrid.

Isn’t it marvellous? You and Ralph can flower semitubiflora but I can’t!

Re: Some Stapeliads
I like Olga 2! Unusual to have a prickly ring...

Re: Some Stapeliads
I too like 'Olga 2' with her prickly ring but I'd call that an annulus since I'm a stickler for technicalities as you well know.
Also that's one hybrid I'd save from composting.
