Nice flower. What is that? As suggested by your thread title, is it smelly?

Paphioboy, I didn't know we have them here in Malaysia!! If not mistaken this is from South Africa. They bloom during the spring/rainy season with other succulents.

Looks artificial with all that fabric looking petals. So unique. Is it really smelly. But the beauty beats the smelliness.

Rafflesiana are very big and stinky.Unlike this cute pretty plant. A lot of plants are stinky but beautiful.
