Huernia thuretii

     From the Eastern cape province of South Africa and Namibia,
Huernia thuretii is a small clumping succulent with short squat stems similar to Huernia kennedyana. It was once called
Huernia striata for the distinctive striping on the flowers.
     I picked up a potfull of this at Home Depot thinking it was Huernia kennedyana. But the stems
are a little different and once it flowered I knew I had something else. I tried rooting some cuttings over the winter
but they rotted. I'll try again in spring.
