Huernia pendula - Carrion Flower Size:8.5cm Tropical areas of South/Central AmericaThis succulent's unusual appearance helps it stand out amongst even the most varied succulent collection. Its thin stems grow over the side of the pot, hanging down and spreading as far as they can reach. The stems fade from silver green to purple at the tips, with small spines running up the sides and more pronounced at the ends. If it's really happy, this striking appearance may be even more enhanced by a bloom of deep maroon red flowers in summer.
