Africa Wild

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 .

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

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
