5" Roadkill Cactus

Roadkill Cactus (Stapelia gigantea)

The fleshy, spineless stems resemble a small cactus, but the real show begins when it blooms—producing massive, hairy flowers mottled in yellow, red, and purple. Strange, bold, and unforgettable, this plant is a favorite for collectors who love the weird side of plants.
