The thorns are a bluff , they look sharp but are soft . I have another one , the leaves ? look a little difrent it has not bloomed yet . Thanks for looking . Gin
FANTASTIC Gin... I'll have to try to look this one up. What kind of light do you keep in?

Hi , It is in the green house hanging on the north wall it gets bright light , but not direct sun I don't think they are very fussy , last year it was on the porch Med. light . I can do cuttings let me know and I will start one for you . Gin
It looks dangerous! Yikes! Very cool though. I am sure Lou will want one--especially if it is in the stinky family and looks dangerous!
Cheers!

Kinda looks like an octopus with thorns instead of suckers..... But the flower color is lovely, and if it doesn't actually stink..... If you do get some cuttings I'd love one.
I will add both you for cuttings , I just did one for Matt. it will be awhile before I can do another, once it is done blooming I can . Remind me ! Bruce, the thorns are soft not like cactus . Gin
