Xerophyte

Flowers

Funnel shaped ca. 3 cm in diameter often larger than the stems. Petals pink outside, pale yellow-orange inside (although at first glance they give the impression of having a creamy hue), so throughout the day, depending on the degree of opening of the flowers, the petals change the colour we perceive according to the intensity of light they receive. Flowers emerge from the base of the plant between the parent and offspring, resulting in a superb display in mid season.

Stem

Fattened, globular, light-green, up to 3 cm diameter and branching profusely from near the base.
