Edithcolea grandis from Filtu Ethiopia

£55.00

Type: Stapeliad

Meet the Edithcolea grandis from Filtu, Ethiopia a stapeliad with a flair for the dramatic. Its star-shaped flower is a spectacle, with fleshy petals dotted in mottled patterns that almost dare you to look away. The center seems to peer back, adding a touch of the unnerving.

This plant isn't here to blend in. The stems are a peculiar mix of bumps and spines, giving it an alien-like silhouette that defies ordinary plant logic. It's sculptural, strange, and a bit sinister in the best way possible.

If you're the kind of collector who relishes in the weird and wonderful, this exact specimen might just be your next obsession.
