Hoodia juttae

Beautiful exemplar of succulent with a columnar shape and greyish green color. At first glance very similar to a cactus for the stem equipped with thin spines; the Hoodia have assumed this aspect to adapt to survive the original desert environments, storing water in the fleshy stems and presenting themselves full of quills, instead of leaves, to retain it as much as possible. Very particular are its inflorescences, large and reddish in color that bloom in spring at the apex of the plant.
