Its large, fleshy stems provide a bold structure that complements the flower's unique texture and size. People often admire the Stapelia gigantea flower for its impressive diameter and striking appearance.

The Stapelia gigantea species is famous for its distinctive carrion flower. This plant emits a scent resembling decaying flesh, which attracts pollinators.
