RE: Cacti in Bloom -Garden Journal

What gorgeous cacti and your photos are amazing. That Amegilla bee is so cute. Is it one of the ones that hover and dart side to side? We have mostly honey bees. Lovely hexagon wonder, here we call them Stapelias. I'll go check out your other garden posts too

Thank you @andrastia, yes this one won't sit in one place, it does have those quick darting movements.
Stapelias are huge star shaped, beautiful but smelly flowers. The caralluma umbellata is native to India and the plant looks very similar to the stapelia.
Spineless thick juicy stems with almost invisible leaves.
Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate your interest very much.
