Is that a 6cm pot too? It's giving my mistletoe cactus a run for its money with flower size!

Very cute.

The plant is eaten in Northern Kenya but you might have to wait a while to get a full meal off it.

I'd probably have missed it completely!

Do you have a macro capability? bet it looks great close up Mike.

Try Rhadamanthus platyphyllus (a bulb from SA). I think the flowers are about 1mm across. Showy it isn't...

Mind you, Euphorbia platyclada has flowers which are not much bigger.

Or Drimia uniflora.

But you don't grow Euphorbias for flowers Ralph. Stapeliads are supposed to be the orchids of the succulent world...

Do you know the orchid genus Corybas?
