Growing mesembs part 1: coastal semi-desert vygies

Cool to see how with the weather in South Africa, a plant like this can flourish in a wide range of conditions. I guess that's why it's characterized as semi-desert. Does it grow along the Garden Route?

No, it comes from the Richtersveld and Northern Namaqualand. Although it grows in winter when it is cooler, it doesn't like being in a somewhat higher winter rainfall area

Ah ok, I gotcha. Well that's really cool that you grow them in your garden.

The climate works for them here

It so nice to see your succulent. Nice to know they love growing there. Will venture to plant succulents soon too as addition to my cactuses and other flowering plants.
