Pebbled Tiger Jaws - A New Addition to My Plant Collection

in #nature7 years ago (edited)

This plant is a new addition to my plant collection. It is known as Pebbled Tiger Jaws, Faucaria tuberculosa . This succulent plant is native to South Africa. The name Tiger Jaws is a reference to the toothed appearance of the leaves. It can grow to around 10cm high and 25cm wide. The yellow flowers appear in summer and autumn. As a young plant, mine only has one flower at the moment. Hopefully, with a bit of TLC, it will give a better show next summer. (It's currently autumn where I am).

All of the photos were taken by me with a Canon 7D and Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro lens.

Very cool thanks for telling us about it i have not seen one before.

Wow! Cool shots. Upvoted and followed

I have this one! Darn it grows fast... I got it as a one single little thing and now it overgrew the post and I don't even know how many rosettes it has.
