Plant Identification

[okie]

Hmmm... there are so many helichrisums . That last one could also be H.aureonitens ( golden everlasting ) , or even H.odoratissimum , or H.nudifolium var.pilosellum .

Thanks for the ID's again. The last two I don't have other shots of. Will have to get those sometime. Will check the ID's based on what I have on my side and let you know.

Well your instinct has served you well to date

I have some more coming up...at this rate I might have to start paying you..hahaha.

One week now since you announced some more beautiful plants coming up, Michel Bring them on

7. ID please by Michael de Nysschen, on Flickr

Restionaceae family, I think

I was given this piece of succulent and now it has sprouted this flower.

Please can anyone ID it for me?

This is a stapeliad . There are all succulents , have the typical star-shaped flower , which is quite foul smelling , and as such also called carrion flowers . Pollination takes place by carrion seeking insects such as blow-flies etc which are attracted by the smell .
Have to research a little deeper in order to ID this specific one , but could also very well be a " man-made " hybrid-cross .

Beautifull flower

That blossom looks quite beautiful compared to it's obviously not so favourable smell.

Huernia or Stapelia, and I have no clue how to tell them apart

Hi okie. Thank you very much for the ID of my plant. Very pretty to look at but not nice to smell

Huernia or Stapelia, and I have no clue how to tell them apart

There are so many of them , and maybe the reason for lack of ID'ing is because the smell prevents you from checking too closely

And the flowers always look so beautiful , velvety , inviting ..........

Or the different smells are the ID feature
