HAWORTHIA AND SUCCULENT AUCTION



This blog is dedicated to plants from desert regions around the world as well as plants that have adapted to withstand arid conditions, but do not occur in real deserts. Many of the plants are found in arid semi-desert regions. There will be a greater emphasis on succulent plants, but others will also be included. This blog deals with desert plants of the Americas, Africa, Arabia and others. We are situated in South Africa and South African plants are likely to feature more dominantly. The pictures taken are from our private botanical desert garden at Leopoort near Oudtshoorn, from plants in nature, as well as other collections.

Frithia pulchra


Frithia pulchra superficially resembles plants from the genus Fenestraria. The plants can be distinguished from the latter by their finely papillose leaf tips, whereas the leaf-ends of Fenestraria are smooth.

The distribution of these unique plants is in the Magaliesberg area of the North West Province and Gauteng.

Frithia pulchra has very attractive flowers. The colour is magenta grading into white at the centre.
