Echidnopsis sharpei

Small succulent plant with creeping posture: as its stems grow in length, keeping a diameter of a few centimeters, they settle on the ground forming further roots and rooting very easily in the ground. Of a beautiful emerald green, it has several prominent tubercles, each of which maintains small white marks in the points where the microscopic leaves fall. It generates small star-shaped flowers of dark and intense red colour, with a velvety and extremely elegant look.
