Hi Michelle,
That isn't a Stapelia? That leopard-spot patterned flower reminds me of Stapelia mutabilis, but I could be wrong.
Regards,
Tom

Edit...actually, you could be right. I see something called Huernia zebrina in my Succulents, The Illustrated Dictionary book that does look similar...

Sorry, I missed this. Rare to have anybody ask anything on this part of the board!

Don't think it's zebrina though. Might be hystrix or a hybrid with hystrix.
