Scientific Name: Stapelia leendertziae Cutting Recommended Temperature Zone: USDA: 9-12 Frost Protection: Keep above 50°F (10°C), avoid any frost Heat Tolerance: Avoid direct sun in summer Sun Exposure: Partial sun or light shade Origin: Southern Africa, Zambia Watering Needs: Needs well drained soil Propagation: Seeds, cuttings in spring or summer Stapelia leendertziae: This species grows to 12" tall and has lush, slender, upright stems with 4 angles and indented or winged margins. Hairy, deep purple, bell-shaped flowers bloom in summer on tubes up to 2 1/2" long. The 45 species in this genus are the carrion flowers par excellence. They are perennial succulents from southern Africa, like small cacti in growth habit but without thorns. They are pollinated by flies that think nothing in the world is more tasty than a piece of rotting meat. Stapelias pander to them both by the odor of the flowers and also by their color, which always includes some variation on the theme of red, brown and purple usually in marbled patterns and sometimes streaked with cream to resemble fatty meat. The flies are sometimes so thoroughly deceived that they lay eggs on them, but the larvae starve to death when they hatch-they can't eat the flower. There are several hybrids and cultivars, some featuring pinkish or yellow tints at the tips of their stems. Cultivation: Plant these frost-tender species in full sun or part-shade and moderately fertile, very well-drained soil. Propagate from seed or stem cuttings in spring or summer.

WORDS: “Nourishing the soul is the process of drinking at the life stream, coming back to one’s true self, embracing the whole of one’s experience – good, bad, or ugly; painful or exalted; dull or boring.” Jon Kabat-Zinn Spiritual teachings sometimes counsel a need to let go of the ego. In our view, though, ego and personality are essential players in our theatre of life. Personality is the vehicle for Spirit to evolve through form. Soul sparks the potential that exists within the personality. We don’t want the ego to disappear – we want it to open to divine guidance so the two may work together in alignment. And so the path of personality aims to build a healthy, skillful ego. Ironically, only a strong, mature ego can take responsibility for carrying the consciousness of soul.
