Another thank you to Amir from Israel for submitting one of his succulent photographs. Much appreciated!

Unsurprisingly, these small plants have the common name “flowering stone”. If Amir's photograph doesn't convince you of how fitting that name is, see this image of the entire plant with roots or this line drawing.

If you are keen to learn more about these precious plants, visit Interactive Mesembs – click on Tree View, followed by Expand All, and then the small black “i” in the yellow circle beside Dinteranthus.
