PLANT DESCRIPTION

Common Names

Carrion Plant - Starfish Flower - Stapelia Hirsuta - Hairy Stapelia

Morphology and Tales

The Stapelia Hirsuta has amazing complex flowers. The dark-red flowers smell like carrion and are covered by long setae (hairs) that resemble the fur of a dead animal, using both visual and odors to attract their pollinators. The flowers are densely shaggy (hirsute) at the centre. Purplish colours simulate the rotting flesh of dead animals. These flowers attract beetles and carrion flies who pollinate the plant as they are fooled into trying to lay eggs on the flower.

SHIPPING

All of our products are shipped in protective packaging. We use rigid tubes, plastic clams, bubble wrap, padded envelopes and boxes where necessary.

We are happy to combine shipping on all orders. You can request a new total at checkout or complete the order and send us a message and we will issue a refund for any extra shipping costs paid.

Most orders will leave the next working day. There are some exceptions to this, occasionally plants will need to stand for up to two days if they have been watered recently and cuttings may be delayed for a similar period of time if it is not an optimal time to take the cutting due to watering routines. We strive to only deliver the best quality products.

We do not ship on weekends or the eve of public holidays where packages may sit in the post office for extended periods of time.
