Haworthiopsis viscosa reminding the Rainbow Nation

Haworthiopsis viscosa proves here that colour is not really about race. In the dour, dry Karoo this plant and other locals of many species express themselves in colour, communicating rich living in what appears like poor conditions to outsiders.

Even the dead persist in black and white among the youthful and the aged, the thriving and the suffering. All the differently colour coded stems sharing roots coexist here among the stones, oh so peacefully!
