Conophytum ernianum (Succulents)

Very particular miniature succulent, which does not exceed 3 cm in height but rather tends to quickly form wide horizontal expanses, perfect as a groundcover even where the soil is very poor and rocky. It has stems that are similar to small stones with a diameter of about 2 cm, with greenish-greyish epidermis adorned by more intense green dots. This species has the particularity of becoming, at the apex, strongly pointed and angular, almost squared, whose shape is often evidenced by marginal reddish shades. From the central fissure blossom, at the beginning of autumn, large single flowers on the notes of the lively yellow or sometimes of a brilliant violet.
