wow sounds cool lol
i searched and only see the small flowers under that name
but i also seen theres 60 kinds of those

this should be cool when it pops :popcorn:

and how is it not a cactus?lol
Ok now even I am confused:confused: But we will know for sure when pops:D And if indeed its a Huernia or one of its similar genus that isnt a true cactus;) Remenbar: all cactus are suculents but not all suculents are cactus:D
 
Yup you got it, the family Cactaceae is just part of the larger group of plants known as "succulents". All cacti are succulents, but not all succulents are cacti (in fact only a small portion of them).

Stapeliads (which is the family that includes the genera Stapelia, Huernia, Carraluma etc) come from Africa, and cacti only come from the Americas.
