Disc-like flower structure (hypanthodium) of Dorstenia foetida with fleshy projections along its margin. The structure is dotted with numerous tiny flowers, each partially recessed in the disc-shaped structure.

I planted a few #Dorstenia foetida seeds probably about half a decade ago. This is one of those individuals now.
