Plant bought as Huernia zebrina var. magniflora and I have been nurturing for a few years, but turns out to be "just" a Stapelia.... disappointing. Anyone have the real thing spare?

No luck. But still an interesting plant though.
Yes. But unfortunately that doesn't help you much.

Unfortunately my H. zeb. died last year, and I seem to have lost contact with the guy I got it from.
Hmmm. I must look him up again!!

Both plants have settled and are growing nicely.
Thats interesting, I am assuming you mean blood red inside the flower? I'll have a look next time they flower, it would be nice to give them a name .
