Still Flowering

This Faucaria has been flowering for nearly a month.

As with many succulents the flowers only open when there is sufficient Sunlight on the plant.
Today they didn't open until mid afternoon, once the thick rain clouds had moved away.

  1. I have not heard of these before, but the plant has a lot of character.

    1. Wilma: They are originally from S. Africa. Not as prickly as they look. The 'spikes' are soft and flexible.
