Here’s another adorable succulent from my tour of Erika’s apartment, Conophytum blandum. Don’t they look like lots of little hearts?
On first glance the Latin blandum (blandus) seems wrong — these plants aren’t bland! To be sure I looked the word up in Gardener’s Latin and it turns out that blandus translates to pleasing or charming. This I think we can agree on.
