I've
been showing you all kinds of succulents lately, to get you in the mood
for spring and inspire you to get out and garden, but those lists were
missing the adorable succulent driving Japanese gardeners wild.
Native
to South Africa, Monilaria obconica use the small, glittering pearls on
their leaves to store water, so they're fairly drought resistant, and
the leaf pair "ears" act "as a protective sheath to the stem apex".
But enough of the scientific talk, wanna know the best thing about these bunny succulents?
