Lithops (Living Stones)
Lithops are some of the most fascinating succulents, often called living stones because their plump, stone-like leaves camouflage them in their native desert habitats of southern Africa. These tiny plants grow in pairs of thick leaves that split down the center, where new growth and even daisy-like flowers emerge. Their unique appearance makes them a favorite among collectors and succulent lovers.

Fun Fact: Lithops have evolved to look like pebbles or stones to avoid being eaten by grazing animals in the wild. Their flowers often appear larger than the plant itself, making them look like theyre blooming straight out of a rock!
