A hundred to one!

Post by ralphrmartin »

Earlier I showed a picture of Stapelia gigantea, with flowers about 300mm (1 foot) across. Today's effort is at the other end of the scale: Quaqua marlothii, whose flowers struggle to reach 3mm across.

You don’t see Quaqua flowers very often.

At that size, I wonder how many times people have had them in flower and not noticed!?
