Leendertz, this fantastic easy-growing succulent hails from rocky South African shrubland. In late summer large flowers can bloom which look fantastic - in its homeland there aren't pollinating honey bees so flies do the job, meaning the blooms have developed to smell, well, not good. But don't worry, you have to get very close to pick up the smell and there's a great trick in there though if you tell your friends to get in close for a whiff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eStapelia leendertziae\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCommon Names\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBlack Bells, Leendertz's Carrion Flower, Maroon Cup Starfish, Star Flower, Rugose Cup Starfish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eRocky shrubland of South Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLikes bright, direct light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWater\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAllow the soil to completely dry out in-between waterings.
