Small-Flower Fame Flower

Talinum parviflorum

A tiny, succulent-like plant adapted to dry, sandy, or rocky soils, though it can also grow in richer black soils. Extremely drought tolerant but sensitive to fire, it thrives in harsh environments like rock outcroppings and sand dunes. Its small, almost fluorescent flowers open at dawn and dusk, closing during the heat of the day. When not blooming, the plant stays low to the ground, with small succulent leaves.
