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.

Duvalia caespitosa is commonly found in arid areas from Namibia to the Eastern Cape Province.

Similar to Duvalia parviflora the sprawling stems are usually in the shade of other shrub.

The brown to almost black flowers occur from autumn to spring.

The plants are easy to cultivate, but need good drainage.

Propagation is from cuttings which are easily removed or seed.
