Another succulent seen with an unopened bud.

This cultivated, ornamental was in a hanging basket.

Id please.

Definitely an Asclepiadaceae ...,

Stapelia family, but which, not sure. The flower open would probably help.

Thanks to you and ... for the follow up and clues.

On searching, this seems to be Starfish Cactus, Toad Cactus as in Dave's Garden.

Botanical name Orbea variegata, Syn Stapelia variegata of Asclepiadaceae.
