Orbea melanantha – 2.5″ tall pot – Stapeliad
Orbea is a stapeliad genus of about 56 species, occurring from southern and eastern Africa into Arabia. This allows certain species to be recognizable even when not in bloom. We also like the compact, jagged stems of this species, which is native to the miombo woodlands across Southern Africa, where it grows in sandy soil and stony ground.
Pseudolithos cubiformis – 2.5″ tall pot – Stapeliad
The species is native to Somalia, where it grows near the historic city of Hargeisa, often sun-stressed to an orange tone that closely matches the iron-rich stones scattered through its habitat. Curious which?.
