Anacampsecros rufescens 'Sunshine' (Sand Rose/Sunrise Succulent)

These beautiful colourful succulents are native to South Africa and grow in clusters that start out small but eventually spread out by producing offsets. The leaves are wonderfully coloured, ranging from green, to yellow to pinky purple! If you look closely you can see thin, white hairs that grow from the foliage around the plant- the hairs are called axillary hairs and help the plant to survive droughts by trapping water vapour from the air.
