This fat plant [caudiciform] needs a common name. It is seen increasingly at cactus and succulent shows and sales. The stem, which is barely visible at the bottom right-center of my picture, is heavily thorned like most other pachypodiums. The flower has no scent that I can detect, but it's hayfever season here so I probably couldn't detect a skunk.
