Re: And I thought it was dead
Funny ... but this one has had too much sun causing the stems to develop protective purple (almost black) pigmentation. Fortunately it has not scalded as a result.

A couple of years ago I left a Piaranthus outside all summer in full sun and all the stems turned bright red.

Super flower! I always think stapeliads flower later in the year - but I actually have a few in flower now.
