You're about to see some of the most unusual plants on the planet: succulents with crested and monstrose formations. Much of their appeal is how they suggest undersea plants, animals, and even body parts! No two are exactly alike, which makes them highly collectible...and becoming more common in nurseries. Crests appear gathered like a waistband or a drawstring purse. Monstrose growth tends to be lumpy and may suggest a what looks like a cauliflower or congealed lava.
ON MY SITE you'll find a Gallery of normal and crested (or monstrose) succulents side-by-side---nearly 90 different varieties---the ONLY gallery of its kind online. There you'll also find important care-and-cultivation tips. Go to: https://debraleebaldwin.com/succulent-plants/crested-and-monstrose-succulents/
