This does not match any of the photos I have seen of this species... flowers vary, but always are super deep dark red- some are roundish, some bumpy.. .but all a dark red... you sure this identified correctly?

What an idiot. I have a mental block over this plant because I did the same thing last year when I posted a picture of this. It's zebrina v zebrina of course. It's even labelled as zebrina v zebrina too. Sorry guys.

Picked this up at a nursery a week or so back. Already treated to my first flower.

Huernia zebrina variegated at times displays fascinating colors. I have planted many cuttings in the rocks and they are so far doing well
