Faucaria felina ssp. tuberculosa

     Also native to South Africa, Faucaria felina ssp. tuberculosa
is a clumping, rosette shaped succulent to 5 inches across. The bumpy tops of the leaves make this species the
easist one to identify. Yellow flowers with red tips 1-1/2 inches across appear in late fall and early winter,
followed by a segmented seed pod.
     The picture above was taken in spring, before I cleaned up the winter debris. This
clump has survived and thrived in a shady spot in my garden for two years now. It now has an F. tigrina companion.
