Nice flower! A lot of plants in the Ascelpiad subfamily, which includes Stapelia, have interesting blooms. Ceropegia get really weird. Ascelpiads aren’t cacti though. Surprisingly there isn’t a Stapelia, Ascelepiad, or Apocynaceae subreddit so I guess r/succulents would be the best fit for this plant.

Awesome *Stapelia* but is no one going to notice the absolute UNIT of a *Hoya linearis* in the back right? That thing looks amazing!

Stapelia gigantea, amazing! They stink because they are pollinated by flies. One of the most fascinating plants I’ve known. I have S. hirsuta, gigantea and leendertziae. All amazing! Congrats!
