Details of its shining white flower (up) FOOTNOTE: All plants of the genus Lithops originate from South Africa, and are known by the common name of "living stones", looking at the pictured plants should be easy to guess why!!! All Lithops are considered "fairly difficult" to keep (at least, in the passed years, I faced a lot of troubles during my attempts).
