Re: Stapeliad thread
No idea, but the Australian countryside is littered with innumerable alien species, from house sparrows, to foxes, to cane toads, to Opuntia, et al.
In Sydney I also had
Stapelia leendertziae

Re: Stapeliad thread
I would imagine DAFF wouldn't be happy about its presence in the country.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs. Recently discovered gorgeous Gasteria.

Re: Stapeliad thread
I like that Stapelia villetiae. If you ever have any spare bits, I'd be happy to swap for some other stapeliad you want.

Re: Stapeliad thread
I can't help you, Ralph, as that was one of the plants I had when I lived in the Land of Oz.

Re: Stapeliad thread
Just about my first foray into stapeliads. Given to me as ceropegia calyi and flowering over and over.
Growing in Nottingham for the past 4 years and recently found my way to a Nottingham branch meeting. A few plants on a windowsill has very quickly turned into a greenhouse full!
Attempting to grow a range of turbinicarpus, coryphantha, escobaria and several other cactus genera. Tylecodons, pelargoniums and conophytums keep me occupied in the winter and an ever expanding number of gasteria live under the bench.

I wonder if it’s a cross with sandersonii?

Re: Stapeliad thread
I bought an unrooted Huernia zebrina cutting a few months ago. It seems to have settled in happily, currently co-habiting with an Euphorbia coerulescens cutting.
