Carraluma sp

[paphioboy]

I think it might be C. diffusa. an unusual succulent that blooms frequently after rains. Bears bunches of dark maroon flowers, has a stink reminiscent of ammonia/bleach.. Sort of makes your eyes water if you sniff it up close. Flowers have velvety texture. Easy to grow but don't keep too wet.

Looks like a rat-tail cactus. I've never seen them bloom!
