Caralluma foetida

A peculiar succulent characterized by stems that do not exceed about 15 cm in height, but tend to branch abundantly at the base, giving life to wonderful bushes of quadrangular section bodies, equipped with wide and smooth ribs. Along the corners of the ribs, the succulent is enriched by slight whitish longitudinal lines and microscopic, not very pronounced teeth, which help to accentuate the sculptural form of the specimen. The epidermis takes on very soft, almost glaucous colors, which contrast nicely with the very original clusters of velvety burgundy flowers that bloom in perfectly spherical groups at the apex of the plant: the final effect is decidedly elegant and refined, but at the same time will certainly not go unnoticed!
