What an amazing looking flower, never seen it before.
Does it have a perfume ?
Looks a bit like one of those ones that smells like rotting meat.

Fabulous and unusual center macro.
FCM ... Up Close and Personal, admin fave, congrats

Stapeliad flowers attract flies, but this flower had no noticeable smell.

Interesting contrast of fluffy-furry looking stuff and that brown flower part that looks like something sharp.
