Succulents (succulentus – Latin for sap-rich) are plants that can store water particularly well.  Botany roughly differentiates between plants according to where the water is stored. There are mainly leaf and stem succulents, but also root succulents. Well-known representatives for storage in the leaves are, for example, the aloe and the agave. Cacti store water in the stem. Some of the plants also use several plant parts to store the liquid.

There are thousands of succulent species. These are divided into many “families”. The most important four main species are the so-called ice plants or carpet weeds (Aizoaceae), the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae), the stonecrop family or orpine family (Crassulaceae) and the cacti (Cactaceae). All have several thousand subspecies. Cacti are the best known representatives of the incredible diversity. Although they also belong to the succulents, they are therefore generally called their own species.

Rock Garden Casa Don Fernando

In this beautiful rock garden near Altea there are truly extraterrestrial plants. E.g. “living stones” and many other exotic forms which a person grown up in Germany does not expect. My admiration for nature has become even more apparent thanks to the beautiful aliens in the rock garden of the Casa Don Fernando estate.
