Re: Huernia guttata IB8557
It is nice to see the occasional plant where the botanical name is justified. The Latin guttatus meaning spotted or speckled in chickens or dappled or piebald in horses. From gutta - a drop of fluid or natural spots on animals, stones, etc.
Asclepiomaniac. Armchair ethnobotanist.

I know they are trying to attract flies, but why would nature imitate blood spatter around a gunshot wound?
