Species of Cone plant


Living pebble
The Conophytum bilobum has been nicknamed the "Living Pebble" and is a favorite of many succulent enthusiasts. The flesh of the living pebble looks unlike any other plant in the world and almost does not even appear to be that of a natural, living plant. The first notation of these odd little cacti dates back to 1776!
