Orbea taitica

Not the most floriferous. Don’t know if it’s me or the plant.

Quite small for an Orbea, and not like Orbea variegata and co - but more like Orbea gilbertii. Strange they are both in the same genus.

Also like semitubiflora and decaisneana.

Orbea seems to have become a catch all, a bit like the old Caralluma was. Geographically they are in the North, South, East and West of Africa.
