Very Unique it needs heat, sun & shade, well drained soil. Does well potted or in ground where temperatures permit.
I don't have picture of blossom from my plant but will post one that looks similar if not it from memory. Also posted is a picture of another blossom.
DON'T plant this near flower sniffers! Smelling this flower could be offensive! Blossom starts as a balloon like pod with a pointed end then opens to a beautiful star. The blooms mouth is in the center and it uses flies for pollination by making stinky smell!
Use sandy well drained soil!

Genus Stapelia consists of around 40 species of low-growing, spineless, stem succulent plants, predominantly from South Africa. The flowers of certain species, most notably Stapelia gigantea, can reach 41 cm (16 inches) in diameter when fully open. Most Stapelia flowers are visibly hairy and generate the odor of rotten flesh; a notable exception is the sweetly-scented Stapelia flavopurpurea. Such odors serve to attract various specialist pollinators including, in the case of carrion-scented blooms.The flies frequently lay eggs around the coronae of Stapelia flowers, convinced by the plants' deception.
The hairy, oddly textured and colored appearance of many Stapelia flowers has been claimed to resemble that of rotting meat, and this, coupled with their odor, has earned the most commonly grown members of the Stapelia genus the common name of "carrion flowers".
A handful of species are commonly cultivated as pot plants and are even used as rockery plants in countries where the climate permits. Stapelia are good container plants and can grow well under full sun and light to moderate watering. They should be planted in well-drained compost as the stems are prone to rotting if kept moist for long.
