Orbea starfish flowered for the first time for me. Smells like rotting meat if you put your nose up to it. Made me feel queasy for a minute 🤢

Yes agreed. Its similar type of flower. Just much smaller.

Awesome! 👏  
They are so cool, always wondered if it would stink up a room 😝 cuz I love those colors

So far it just smells if I put my nose up to it so I don’t notice it otherwise thankfully.
