I am really not sure how old it is but I have had it for at least 10 years.
Why do you ask FW?

Flowers don't last long do they?

Oh, I was just wondering if it was one of those ones who only bloom after
they get of a certain age -- like Jade Trees. Other than that sort of idle
thought, I really wasn't going anywhere with the question.

I call this a Stapelia, and boy am I having problems with mine. I have a
Stapelia gigantea, and have split it off into several plants, but once they
get a black fungus or spot, watch out,they'll be history. I'm trying to
save mine at the moment.

Love your Tillandsia usneoides as well, in the bottom of the photo.

Thanks someone, I think the Stapelia is the one with the large flower that
attracts flies, I have that as well.
Anyway, they should be in a fast draining potting mix. You could try
spraying with Physan 20 for fungus.
Cheers Wendy

Thanks, Wendy. I'll have a look at the garden centre for this spray. I
hope I don't lose my plant.
