I bought this plant at a flea market. I'm trying to find out what kind of cactus this is but so far no luck. Does anyone have an idea what this is?

Oh Wow! Looks more like a pinwheel or a child's toy! Most unusual and I have no idea what it is called either, but I sure am glad you bought and photographed it for us to see.

Wow! How unusual and pretty. Upon close examination and after much thought I'm sure this is the Red Do-nut species of Dunkinville!!:):) LOL! Either way, I can see that little spider likes it:):) Nice closeup Eleanor:)

It looks like it comes from the Stapelia genus, but I have never seen one quite like that with tiger striped leaves.

I’m not certain but I think it is a Bagel cactus.
It’s a real eye catcher, good one.

EnglishRose helped me find the answer... it's a Huernia Zebrina.

Thank you EnglishRose!
