Tavaresia meintjesii

£12.00

Rarity: weird Type: Stapeliad

Meet the Tavaresia meintjesii, a plant that knows how to grab attention with its unapologetically spiky silhouette. Its body is a fortress of angles and spikes, daring admirers to come closer.

The real showstopper is the flower: a fleshy, open-mouthed spectacle covered in a galaxy of red spots. It looks like something that could either sing to you or devour you whole.

This is a specimen for those who appreciate the strange and the striking. It's not here to make friends, just to be noticed.
