    Anacampseros telephiastrum gemsboksuring triumphant

    Anacampseros telephiastrum gemsboksuring triumphant
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Thabo Maphisa

    This small Anacampseros telephiastrum plant is celebrating a successful life moment. Its earthly situation comprises a basal leaf rosette, a hairy stem and one open flower.

    There is an ample cluster of yellow-anthered stamens around the white of the three-branched stigma. The roots are unseen. The leaves are angled up more than out, apart from the lowest ones.

    The wiry stipules of the stem-leaves are a bit incongruous below the bridal magnificence of the radiant flower. Life is about striving for, not achieving perfection.
