Gasteraloe cv. ‘Midnight’

Orbea variegata

This plant is one of the many stapeliads found in South Africa, long placed in the Milkweed Family (Asclepiadaceae), but now transferred into an expanded concept of the Dogbane Family (Apocynaceae). These two families were clearly closely related, but it is still something of a shock to have the entire milkweed family swallowed up by its neighbor. In any case, the stapeliads are a notable group of succulent-stemmed plants within the family, with remarkable starfish-like flowers. Orbea variegata is fairly common in coastal areas of South Africa’s Western Cape Province, near to Cape Town. This is the second form of it that has come into flower this year at the Ruth Bancroft Garden, and its flowers certainly are attention-getting.

Hah, Programming is easy work…

here’s a way better pic of that amazing skeleton trellis that’s been going around. it was ridiculously easy to find the source, so i don’t know why youtubers and tumblr users alike love the cropped low res version and refuses to source it

the person who made it is u/TheCUTESTofBORG on reddit, and i will post the thread where they posted the og photo as well as a video of them talking about it in the comments
