Chaque automne, les cailloux du désert sud-africain fleurissent... C'est en réalité la saison où se trahissent les lithops, ces stupéfiants petits caméléons végétaux, qui imitent à la perfection les roches environnantes. Des prodiges qui excellent dans l'art de survivre à la sécheresse, filtrant le soleil brûlant par leurs « fenêtres » et recyclant périodiquement leurs propres feuilles, pour s'adapter miraculeusement aux paysages pierreux et inhospitaliers, si caractéristiques du veld.
Includes a complete overview of cacti genera, plus discussion of certain species which the author has selected for their special problems and rewards in cultivation. The book provides cultural information for these "cacti aristocrats."Published at $44.95 Our last copies available at $22.49
