Feels kinda "Little Shop of Horrors" to me. We got this as a housewarming gift. And this morning it had it first flower. Not sure what kind of cactus it is.
Up close:
If it starts yelling "feed me" - take out stock in Band-Aids!

See if it answers if you call it "Audrey 2"

And if it answers, walk away slowly, you don't want to alarm it.

As with many plants, Stapelia gigantea has a suite of common names. These include carrion flower, giant toad flower, Zulu giant, starfish flower and (in Australia) dead horse plant. Most of these are fairly descriptive – it does smell like carrion, it comes from Africa, it's big, it resembles a starfish and it attracts flies like a dead horse. I haven't been able to deduce the reason for toad flower, though (perhaps also because of the flies?).

DAD WINS! That is is. It attracts a lot of flies, good for dinner parties. Keeps them away from the guests!
Speaking of dinner parties, having another tomorrow night. Pulling out the stops, so stay tuned for the step by step installment of "Cookin' with Morgan"
