Greetings to the entire Shadowhunter community, although I have spent some long days without stopping by I always carry this contest in my heart.I want to give a very warm greeting to my friends @melinda0001, @annephilbrick and @nelinoeva.
Today I want to share the shades of my succulent plant Stapelia Gigantea. It owes its name to the fact that the flower is very large. It’s bigger than the plant's own stems. That's why we see it as drooping because its peduncle, with which it attaches to the stem, it’s too weak to hold it upright.
The stems of my succulent are erect, green in color and have thorn-like extensions on the edges, but they are not thorns. It has 4 angles on its stem that give it its characteristic shape.
The flower is also called the carrion flower, do you know why? Because it emits a stench as repulsive as rotting meat, which attracts flies to its interior.
The flower has a star shape and its color is very striking, yellow in the background with reliefs in the form of red grooves. In addition, you can see closely the filaments or microvilli that it presents.
I place my plant in an open space because its scent can be concentrated in an enclosed space.
Although in my opinion this plant itself does not emit as strong a stench as I have been told by others who own it.
This is my entry to the shadow hunters contest hosted by @melinda0001.
@gertu, my dear friend! @annephilbrick and I were just talking about you the other day and saying it had been far too long since we had seen you! It's great to see you, with a very interesting plant and it's shadow! Hope all is well and that you will be stopping by more frequently. 🌞♥️🌞
Thanks for entering the Shadow Contest again!
Thank you for remembering me fondly. I haven't been here in a long time to post here on hive.
I like nature themes and realized I had nowhere to write anymore.
I love your contest so my return is here.
I will look for other places where there is something about nature.
Because it's the only thing I have at home. My plants and the garden with my pets. We are still in isolation.
