Gibbaeum pilosulum

Graceful miniature succulent, consisting of egg-shaped bodies that do not exceed 2-3 cm in height, but rather tend to develop horizontally, giving life to pleasant mats with multiple heads up to 15 cm in diameter! Each body is made up of a pair of extremely fleshy leaves, compact and completely fused together, divided only apically by a short slit from which, during the flowering period, marvelous purple flowers with filiform and very shiny petals will blossom. The epidermis is so peculiar that it gives its name to the same species: of a beautiful bright light green, it is in fact covered by a thick layer of short whitish down that covers it and protects it from atmospheric agents, giving it at the same time a silvery reflection underneath. the sunlight that makes this specimen absolutely unique and easily distinguishable!
