Conophytum pellucidum (Succulents)

Its name comes from the Greek and literally means 'cone plant' in reference to the shape it takes. C. pellucidum is an exemplar that does not exceed a few centimeters in height but expands horizontally creating wonderful colorful carpets. The fleshy leaves joined two by two assume, with the growth, almost the appearance of pretty and small hearts. The epidermis is smooth and has colors ranging from reddish to brown, with very particular streaks or dots of black or dark brown color creating a very pleasant visual effect. The flowering period of C. pellucidum goes from late summer to autumn and in the crack between the two leaves bloom small white or purple flowers.
