STONE FACES 
LITHOPS 
These beautiful, interesting and_ entirely 
unique plants have no counterparts in the plant 
world. Many are so brightly colored they do 
not resemble what one thinks of as a plant 
but rather rainbow colored pebbles. They come 
from the barren deserts of Southwest Africa 
and imitate the rocks among which they are 
found. The flat tops of the two joined leaves 
are beautifully marbled or lined with contrast- 
ing colors according to the species. Sandy 
soil, sunny, airy position, never overwater. A 
dozen plants can be grown in a 6” pan.
