    This long time favorite South African succulent rapidly grows into a clumping umm... glom of chubby gray leaves in multiple rosettes. One of the more rewarding of the genus, it's topped by orange, globular flowers rising up to 1' in height, for which it's named. Excellent small container plant, well drained soil, bright light, USDA zone 9.

    A fat little gasteria that grows in a fan shape. Slow growing, part shade.

    Nice clumps of a small rosettes of opposite, very succulent strap-shaped leaves with fantastic reddish-pink, fat-belly (gasteriform) flowers.
