Pleiospilos nelii or Split Rock Plant. The Split Rock is blooming again and, in the setting sun, proved too tempting to not take a picture of. For something that looks so rock-like, it really has a flamboyant bloom.

Split Rock
Pleiospilos nelii, Split Rock Plant. These hardly little clumping plants look just like stones until they bloom in glorious yellows and oranges. They are about two inches across and are native to South Africa. They prefer a dry spell during their Winter dormancy although this one is doing just fine on my back deck. They are hardy down to about 23F.
