Can anyone ID this plant for me also any tricks to tell the difference
between Orbea variegata & Stapelia variegata.
Cheers Wendy

Orbea/Stapelia variegata are the same plant, but it looks like this:



The flowers are variegated, and the petals are wrinkled but not hairy.
It's moderately smelly - mine's quite at home in the lavatory - but not
overpowering.
Is it possible your plant's a more interesting species and not just a
colour form of variegata?
