Ceraria pygmaea DV *Flowers are finger painted byAffectionately known as Pygmy Porkbush in its native Namaqualand, Ceraria pygmaea forms a small tree with very succulent leaves, never taller than a few inches but still giving the impression of great age. It grows all year as long as temps dont rise above 95 degrees, when it may go dormant but still keep its foliage.
