General Description Lithops olivacea, commonly known as Living Stones, is a rare succulent species native to South Africa and Namibia. This variety is easily recognized by its olive-green to brownish hues and smooth, stone-like appearance. It blends seamlessly into rocky environments and produces beautiful yellow daisy-like flowers in late summer and autumn.
Plant Characteristics Lithops olivacea grows as a compact pair of thick, fleshy leaves, reaching up to 2–3 cm tall. The leaves have smooth surfaces with subtle patterns in green and brown tones, resembling small pebbles. Bright yellow flowers emerge from the center of the leaves, adding a vibrant touch to its muted colors.
