The Carrion Flower (Stapelia Gigantea) at home.

            It is a stapelia gigantea, also known as the carrion flower. It’s a succulent plant native to South Africa and is known for its large, star-shaped flowers that can reach up to 16 inches in diameter. The flowers are usually a pale yellow or ochre color with maroon markings and have a strong, foul odor that resembles rotting meat. This smell attracts flies, which help to pollinate the plant.
