Rob so liked the photos of Stapelia in my cactus book that I searched the internet looking for a place that sells Stapelia. Found ONE! Made me pay attention to my Huernia about which I know little. They have muddled along in the same pot with the big Kalanchoe for a while, but I recently re-did that and took them out. Now I have to find out what might trigger them to bloom, as they haven't yet. Meanwhile a Sansevieria I got at the same plant sale has made 11 plantlets and stayed alive while being neglected. And it takes a lot of neglect to make a snake plant shows you it is suffering...
Proper respect must be paid to Mr. Martin Heigen, who took the photo above and generously posted it on the interwebs. More of his work on Huernia: http://anti-matter-3d.com/Stapeliads/Huernia.html
