Starfish flowers, the Living Rocks which closely mimic the grey rocks among which they grow, the Stone Faces whose mottled tops simulate 
pebbles, and scores of others. Many desert flowers have brilliantly colored blossoms, clear like the desert skies. They are called “Succulents" 
because of their ability to store water in their leaves or stems to tide them over dry seasons. Like Cacti, they are all easy to grow, wanting 
but little water.
