Stapelia leendertziae-  A fantastic and hard to find Stapelia.  Grows 12-18 inches high, spreading to 30 inches with 4-lobed stems and spectacular purple-black flowers that swell like giant balloons before opening.  Unlike most Stapelia, leendertziae doesn't open completely up leaving a large, balloon-like base to the flower  with only the end of the blossom opening to a star shape approx. 3-4 inches across.  A truely unique, amazing and stinky (they are polinated by flies) blossom!! The are very much worth the smell of the blooms, which isn't very noticeable when grown outside.  makes a stunning potted specimen. A great one for the collector of unusual succulents!
