6 Wonderfully Weird Succulents (Slideshow)

 

Sure, you’re familiar with prickly pears and aloe vera. But there are tons of other fascinating succulent plants around the world! Click through for some wonderfully weird examples of these dynamic plants.

Lithops

Also understandably known as living stone, this hearty succulent is native to Southern Africa. Their unique appearance is due to the need to protect themselves from being eaten — rocks don’t really look that appetizing!

I worked in a little (really quite Large) nursery in HS (1971 or 72). There were 2 GIANT hot houses, one for the "greenery" the other for cacti and LIPIDS:) I loved working in the hothouses, propagating and whatever was needed. One thing I didn't enjoy was the one day a week the grandmother came in and treated me like dirt, LESS THAN DIRT because she could! She was all about the $$$ and the fancy big buck clientele. She was so rude, she thought she was punishing me and sent me to the suc/cac hothouse. That is when I fell in LOVE with the lipids. Literally hundreds of varieties! Thank you dearly for the memories.
