Stone Flowers

Before....

After....
Succulent stone plants (Lithops spp.) are native to southern Africa, where they are well-camouflaged in arid pebbled landscapes. There are about 33 wild species, all of which have been widely distributed around the world as horticultural curiousities. This one is happy in a small pot in my back yard, where it has so far survived 115 F temps in the summer and 23 F temps in the winter.
