Sunset Plant

The last plant I wrote about was a monster so I decided to look at one that is the opposite.

Anacampseros telephiastrum variegata is a beautiful little plant.

I wrote about this plants cousin, anacampseros rufescens a not too long ago HERE .

This is a much smaller succulent but given sunshine it is truly beautiful in its' pinks. I didn't get this too long ago and already it's responding well.

Small white hairs grow out from it's stem. This one hasn't flowered yet but from what I've read I can expect a small magenta flower.

Variegated Sand Rose

Anacampseros rufescens is native to South Africa and grows to about 3 inches in height. It's ideal for a dish garden and right now I'm trying to decide what other succulents to plant with it. It hasn't bloomed yet but usually does in late Spring or early Summer. It will have purple-rose colored flowers about two inches high. I haven't smelled one but I've heard they are mildly fragrant.

I'll be coming back to this plant later, it's a beauty.
