Stapelia hirsuta is a stinky starfish flower found in the Richtersveld and Namaqualand. The flowers smell and look like rotten flesh and instantly attract flies to visit them. The flies are fooled to lay their eggs in the centre of the flower where the stench is at its strongest and whilst they walk around their bodies get brushed with pollen and that pollinates the next Stapelia flower they visit. #leonkluge #flowers #southafrica #flower #plants #fynbos #capetown #flowerstagram #succulents #suc
