Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A mystery mesemb! This wee tufted succulent has nubbly leaves, a little like a Lithops & glowing yellow flowers with warm highlights. It blooms in Winter, is drought tolerant & is an ideal candidate for the rock garden if you don’t mind having a little unknown in the mix! From Namaqualand, but all other details are our best guess - from what I’ve seen, it looks like it won’t be more than 6” high & wide. Good drainage would be our best bet! Definitely good in a pot.
