Lobivia Chrysantha Var. Vatteri

Vatter's lobivia, scientifically known as Lobivia chrysantha var. vatteri, is a rare and striking succulent native to the arid regions of South America. This unique plant is prized for its vibrant yellow to orange flowers and compact, rock-like appearance. It thrives in well-drained soils and requires minimal water, making it ideal for desert gardens. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species. Collectors and botanists alike are drawn to its beauty and ecological significance.
