Orostachys spinosa
Orostachys spinosa is characterized by its compact, rosette-forming succulent leaves that converge into a spiked appearance, reflecting its survival strategy in rocky, arid environments. As a hardy perennial, it is equipped to endure harsh conditions by storing water and minimizing evaporation. Its dull green to grayish coloration also serves as a camouflage among the stones. In late summer, orostachys spinosa produces small, star-shaped flowers poised on an erect stem, contributing to its distinctive allure.
