Another thank you to Amir from Israel for submitting one of his succulent photographs. Much appreciated!

Unsurprisingly, these small plants have the common name “flowering stone”. If Amir's photograph doesn't convince you of how fitting that name is, see this image of the entire plant with roots or this line drawing.
