Description
In botany, succulent plants are plants with parts that are thickened, fleshy and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The word "succulent" comes from the Latin word sucus, meaning juice, or sap. Succulent plants may store water in various structures, such as leaves and stems. This image shows a variety known as sedum, or stone crop, that functions well as a hardy ground cover in arid conditions. One of the more common forms of sedum is called "hen and chicks."I took this photo in Granada, Spain during early spring.
