They are a fun plant. People are fascinated by the bizarre blooms and well as the odor.

I have found mine to be more fragrant when the temperature is high.
Also in the summer heat, the blooms only last one day but in the cooler days of fall they will hang on for a few days.

The Stapelia gigantea is one of the easiest to root and grow. My favorite part of this plant is that is resembles a cactus without the nasty spines. I love touching the velvety stems.

Very pretty plant Tee, thanks for sharing the photos. Thanks too, for reminding me to move mine indoors soon.
