| Edithcolea grandis bud Hmmmmm, its taking a while for me to blog and tell a story here. Its been a while and I guess I may have ran out of creative juices (waahahhaha I do hope) to so, but Im trying to piga ( its a tagalog/bisaya word which means extract) here. My first stinky ( smelly plant) Edithcolea grandis. There are lots of wierd stuff in the cacti and succulents world, and one of those are the stinkies. Whahahaha, wonder why even with the foulest smell people have gone gaga with stinkies these days. Wonder no more for they may smell unpleasant and like a dead rat, its one of the unique, colorful and beautiful flowers I have ever seen. This edithcolea grandis was on of my firsts. It doesnt look that great since it has spiny green to reddish body, greenish when its put under the shade but looks reddish when its placed under full sun. A friend Common Name: Persian carpet flower Scientific name:Edithcolea grandis Plant Care: Full sun water daily Edithcolea is a monotypic genus with a single species Edithcolea grandis (Persian carpet flower). Once classified in the family Asclepiadaceae, it is now in the subfamily Asclepiadoideae of the dogbane family Apocynaceae.
