I am a plant known for my incredibly slow growth, sometimes taking centuries to reach maturity. I'm found in harsh, arid environments and can store a significant amount of water within my tissues. My flowers are quite large and striking, and my leaves, which are typically not very prominent, can be a variety of shapes depending on my specific species. I am also associated with a specific type of desert and sometimes mistaken for other plants of similar appearance.
