Lithops

I have always been attracted to the beauty and diversity of cactus and succulents, and of course their flowers. At times the flowers appear to grow out of the stem and look as if they don’t belong there at all. I find the Lithops particularly interesting as the plant often resembles a group of rocks or body parts and the flowers which emerge from the crevices are so unexpected and beautiful.
