    I'm assuming its a Stapelia...Does anyone know what this smooth upright growth is? Is it new growth? I'm pretty sure its not flowers as they come off the old growth. Thanks

    These are the fruits of your Stapelia... :) It has similar fruits like for example: Asclepias curassavica, because Stapelia also belongs to the Asclepiadaceae family.

    Agree. I just did a web search for "stapelia seed pod" and found several images similar to yours.
