August 2012 - Genus of the Month - Stapeliad
Little bit of cheat here the Plant of the Month is Orbea variegata but I thought I would extend it to all Stapeliad.

As if ubomboensis wasn't wonderful enough this year, look what popped a flower for me today!
Angolluma (Orbea) schweinfurthii - another little jewel with flower not much bigger than 10mm

Hi Peter, that has settled something for me anyway. I have an Angolluma, I don't think it has a flower though, pity. I wish you would stop putting all these lovely pictures up, I'm so envious-must try harder!
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

Awsome Peter!!! Do these stapeliads take a lot of looking after? You have now got me interested in this species.
Thank you .

Re: August 2012 - Genus of the Month - Stapeliad
Maurice - they are definitely a bit more of a challenge compared to 'normal' (what ever that is) cacti. Many need a little extra winter warmth and they are absolute banquet material for mealies of all descriptions. However they are strange and unusual which in my view more than makes up!
Cheers,
