Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Rare and beautiful small species from northern Sonora. Each leaf remains under 6" and is a quite succulent, deep blue mottled purple. The plants form large caudices making them great for bonsai. But possibly the most intriguing feature is their beetle pollinated flowers that are maroon-black and hang to rest on the ground near the plant. Fullest sun. USDA zone 8 if drainage is excellent, possibly with protection from winter wet.
