That is a beautiful flower. The plant is a Stapeliad of some sort but I couldn't tell you which.

Thanks. I thought it probably was but am still hoping for a closer ID. I appreciate the comeback. :)

My guess is Tavaresia grandiflora.

No, unfortunately I do not! I don't have many Asclepiads, but this one I wouldn't mind finding!

I know. I've never seen it anywhere. Maybe it is found in other countries than U.S.

Hi, one of my reference books shows it as Tavaresia barklyi............. the example shown in the book (Cacti and Succulents, Graham Charles; see P.143 ) shows the flower, same as yours but prostate; I suspect photographed when the flower was almost finished.
Cheers from Western Australia.

I finally found this plant!! I picked one up at the Central AZ Cactus & Succulent Society Show & Sale this weekend! I hope it does well for me and produces one of those gorgeous blooms!

Who was selling them Tristan? I didn't see them! Maybe you can post a photo on our club Facebook site.

Woody had two that I saw! Here is a photo - in the pot the CACSS gave me as a Thank You for judging.

I'll post it to the club's FB page too!

I have such terrible luck with trying to get the Asclepiads to flower. Hope you do Tristan and then you can tell me what to do!
