The literal meaning of succulents is "juicy plants." Many succulents are inhabitants of arid areas and have evolved the ability to store large amounts of water in their leaves, stems, and roots, hence the name. The interesting and grotesque forms make them quite appealing to the plant collector. However, not only can the plants have fantastic shapes, but the flowers can be quite beautiful and distinctive as well.
