Lithops
Lithops, more commonly referred to as the living stone, are a type of succulent. Its name is derived from greek meaning “stone” and “face” due to it’s stone-like appearance. In the wild, these plants can be found in many different habitats such as quartz grit or gravely flats, stony ridges and hills of sand, decomposed granite, quartzite, shale, schist and limestone. Lithops typically produce flowers in the autumn and early winter. After the Lithop blooms, the 'mother plant' dies and is replaced by a baby which emerges from the center of the plant.
