What plant is this stunner

[Allan_L]

My wife found this today in her garden but has no idea what it is and she is a horticulturist. :question:
She says it is on a thorny succulent.

Orbea semota?

Orbea semota var. lutea

Whatever it is, I wouldn't trust it. Looks somewhat... complicated. Probably best keep it away from children and pets until you can discern it's motives.

Very reminiscent of Little Shop of Horrors

Far more upbeat than where I was heading :) I was all "Day of the Triffids" over here :P

Apparently many o f these Starfish flower succulents have an odour emanating from the flower that is not so appealing to us but delightful to flies. Mark
