Succulent plant (succulent plant) means that at least one of the three vegetative organs of root, stem and leaf is thick and succulent and has the function of storing a large amount of water.

It has been very popular in recent years and has become a good companion for many people at home and at work. Some people may ask Komori:

Why is succulent so hot?

Hoodia gordonii, a succulent plant of the family Asclepiadaceae, grows naturally in South Africa and Namibia. The flowers smell like rotten meat and are pollinated mainly by flies.

For a long time, the indigenous Bushmen ate this to get rid of hunger and thirst for several days of continuous hunting, and can also be used to treat indigestion and some mild infections.

Pachypodium namaquanum mallet tree, native to Namibia, grows between dry, stony deserts and rocky hillsides. It is a rare and endangered species that is difficult to cultivate and breed in other areas.

Mallet trees can be as tall as 2.5m to 5m, and locals call them Halfmens, which translates from Afrikaans meaning "half-human" or "humanoid".

The close-up is still cute, just look at it from a distance.

Subvert the three values! You call this succulent?

What's the matter with the posture that wants to compete with Heaven?!

I doubt life!

If you go any higher, you won't even be able to get a shot!

According to local legend, these trees are half human and half plant. This makes sense because, when visible from a distant skyline, they can easily be mistaken for human beings. An unusual feature of this plant is that the top of the stem always tends to the north, probably following the direction of light.

Straighten out the frightened mood, let's continue to look back!

Richtersveld, bordering Namibia, is a mountainous desert of mountains and valleys located in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa.

I can understand what it looks like.
