Stapelia hirsuta Choose size:6cm pot Pilea involucrata 'Moon Valley'Succulent with hairy flowers that smell of rotting meat to attract pollinators The dark red flowers are densely hairy (hirsute) in the center, and the purplish color simulates rotting meat from dead animals. The long bristles on the flowers resemble the fur of a dead animal, which, together with the carrion smell, attracts beetles and carrion flies that are tricked into trying to lay eggs on the flower, thereby pollinating the plant (sapromyophily).
