Conophytum jucundum

Conophytum is a large group of succulents in the Ice Plant Family (Aizoaceae), most of them native to the winter-rainfall region in the western part of South Africa and neighboring southwestern Namibia. This one is Conophytum jucundum, with a large distribution in the Richtersveld and Namaqualand, arid regions in northwestern South Africa.

Osteospermum jucundum (African Daisy). #oneadayplant On the edge of hardiness, this fantastic plant needs good drainage and sun to do well. Grows well in the cracks of a stone wall, or a sharply drained bed. The reflective petals glow in sunlight and the large Daisy flower shine from their naturally low position. 10-30cm high. Well worth growing and more robust than one might think. #garden #plant #osteospermum #africa #daisy #africandaisy #flower #perennial #plants #gardens #gardening #gardendesign #plantingdesign #gardeningadvice #gardeningtips #sun #africa #iplantsman (at Crowborough, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ZMDbSATgD/?igshid=1r5qsjzqu4rjf

De duobus impostoribus ..

LePenseur:"Da möcht' man am liebsten doch gleich mit dem Psalmisten (Ps. 132) jauchzen: Ecce quam bonum et quam jucundum,habitare fratres in unum !Sicut unguentum in capite,quod descendit in barbam, barbam Aaron,quod descendit in oram vestimenti ejus ... Ob die Butter, die die beiden Herrschaften am Kopf haben, ihnen schon beim Kollarkragerl reinrinnt, kann man leider nicht genau erkennen. Daß die Freuden-Umärmelungen jedenfalls zum Fremd-Schämen verlogen wirken, ist hingegen unschwer erkennbar ... --------------------- P.S.: Wer die Anspielung im Titel nicht versteht: hier werden Sie geholfen. http://dlvr.it/P5f4x0 "
