Huernia zebrina "Lifesaver Plant"

     ;Native to a large area of Southern Africa including Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Swaziland and the northern provinces of South Africa, Huernia Zebrina is one of the more popular Huernias in cultivation. The flower is nearly identical to Huernia insigniflora, in fact I'm not real sure how to tell them apart. I believe it must be suttle variations in markings. I've seen pictures of both plants where the donut (forget the official term) is all solid red and others where the patterning of the petals comes up over it to varying extent such as the flower above.
