Caralluma hexagona Lavranos in bloom this morning. The flowers are fascinating, but the smell is insidious. #ascepliads #stinkies #carallumahexagona https://t.co/9BhAq66Ydp

Weird one. Caralluma Hexagona grows in rocky habitats.Greyish color of inner surface presumably caused by secretion of nectar drying out to form a thin, crystalline deposit,coupled with the dung-like odour of the flowers acts as an attractant for the pollinators of these flowers. https://t.co/9WQi2qAwgO
