. My mom and idk where she got it (she had succulent) had one of those stinky flowering plants! I'm sure she wouldn't have gotten it otherwise! And the darn thing would bloom almost every year; and there'd always be a few houseflys hanging out in that spot when that happened. Ew.
.
Otoh, she had a couple of stone flowers- and one bloomed! 🥰

A friend talked about bourgevillia. I didn't see any until I visited Puerto Rico. Our hotel pool area had the yellow ones, and while I was walking to a store there was a big magenta one. So pretty!
