Piaranthus pillansii

£8.00

Rarity: basic Type: Stapeliad

This Piaranthus pillansii isn't hiding its eccentricity. The flower resembles a starfish caught mid-scene, with its textured surface and bold yellow center daring you to take a closer look. It's the kind of bloom that commands attention, even if the smell might make you reconsider that impulse.

As for the body, it's a landscape of green, lumpy forms that seem to crawl across the pot. There's nothing ordinary about this setup it's pure, unfiltered plant weirdness.

If you're into plants that make people ask questions, this one's a conversation starter. Exact specimen pictured. No swaps. No mystery substitutes.
