Faucaria Tigrina “Tiger’s Jaw”
The Tiger jaws is a unique looking species displaying fleshy jaw like toothed leaves. These teeth (spines) are harmless and have another purpose rather than defense.

Flowers: The Tiger jaws displays bright yellow flower from fall - early winter. Flowers will open up around midday then close up before the evening.

Foliage: This is one of those species that you can love for its attractive flower and for its foliage. The thick fleshy leaves are kind of triangular in shape that grow in pairs and look similar to a jaw. The edges of the leaves produce spines that look like teeth. These teeth collect moisture for the inner part of the plant to take water down to the roots.

Each plant produces a rosette of up to approximately 10 leaves and they're clump forming, naturally. The speckled patterned leaves are rough to the touch
