Aloinopsis rubrolineata

Aloinopsis is a genus of small clumping plants in the Ice Plant Family (Aizoaceae), native to the interior of South Africa, where summers are hot and winters are cold. This one is Aloinopsis rubrolineata, from near Graaff-Reinet, in the southeastern part of the Great Karoo. The name of the species alludes to the red lines running down the middle of each petal. Besides the red line, the petals are always pale, with hues ranging from pale yellow to pale salmon-pink. Though it gets most of its precipitation in summer, it can be grown in places with winter rainfall if provided with sharp drainage and an occasional drink during the summer months.
