30 Types Of Succulents That Look Like Something Out Of This World

There's a few plants that have these kind of "widnows" on top of their leaves (google "leaf window"). They are adapted to very harsh, hot climates. The windows allow them to remain mostly buried in the soil and keep the photosynthesizing part of the leaf protected from the harsh conditions while still being able to collect light.

Again, looking very much like their namesake.

Is this how they harvest hops?

Bonsai Tree's final form.

Perfect for Medusa!

Curly Q's.

They look like brains but also like candy and now I feel a little like a zombie...

This is so pretty.

Lots of love.

Love the colours on this one.

I honestly thought this was a beaded pincushion upon first glance. I had to Google it, and supposedly it is called "euphorbia obesa" and it does indeed look like the photo above. Pretty amazing!

Cake icing.

Now those are some huge potato crisps/chips

Looks like a flower.;.A very hairy one, though!

Fun fact: A group of dolphins is called a pod. Now I know why!

Like waves ... mesmerizing.

Just wanted to mention that the top part is a planter and the bottom is the plant itself. Still cool tho, since they grow upside-down.

The fronds look like they're waving about in the air.

These two succulents have gotten more lip action than I have in months.

Ooh, I have this one too! Cool plant, awesome flowers which are made to resemble rotten flesh from the color and surface structure (Yes, you read that right. It's called a carrion flower). Striking and beautiful, needs a lot of hear and sun. But it's best put in a more airy place where you wont stay long enough to be bothered by the occasional waft of air blowing the smell into your direction... the flowers smell like rotting flesh, too, after a day or two. Thankfully not that strong, you hardly notice from about a meter away, but you definitely don't want to have it close to your couch.

Like a beautiful sculpture!

These look like they should be in a Lichtenstein painting.

I've had these in my house before. They hated me. :(

the green part looks like a red blood cell

This one would be improved with some googly eyes!

Fibonacci would be proud

"Don't you stick your tongue out at me, young lady!"

I did look at the entire photo before 100% concluding... anything Bowie is gonna be cool! I didn't really doubt it tho' :) #should2did

I'll name this plant the Aloe Vulva.

Another carrion flower.... do beware of the smell. They are pollinated by carrion flies.

I've seen one of these in a store, but as I was there with the Motorbike, I didn't wanna buy it that day ... came back a few days after, it was sold - and no one knew what it was. Ok, now I know ... now I'll get one of these!

Apparently it's known as Crassula 'Morgan's Beauty'. It is a beauty, though.

Wow, looks like something you will find in a coral reef.

These are funky pincushions. Or fuzzy green tomatoes.

I think these are cactus, not succulents, since they have spines on the surface and flowers on the top

Are they being sold like can we buy these plants

They look like one-eyed brids.

Piles and piles of beans!

Uh, not a succulent. This is another tilandsia, one that still develops significantly more roots than many of its relatives and would like to be put into a proper pot.

I appreciate the bell-like flowers on this one.

this plant looks like an alien spaceship

This one should be called “burned bear paw.”

This one looks like it can open in a camera lenses style.

Think this is somewhere else on the list, but not in flower.

Oh, these are so cute! I want one.

A cluster of grapes.

Haven't we seen these before?

Pies From Heaven is the actual name for the succulent. It got its name because the leaves are roughly triangular with 2 sharp edges and the outside rim curved and crenelated, similar to pinched edges of a pie crust. Typing this is making me hungry.

Isn't that just a red aloe?

I have this. It's called Baby toes

Again, these are cacti, not succulents

It looks like my kale plants when they go to seed.

Even the flower looks like a creature.

Also called "baseball plant", related to the euphorbia further to the top.

Anyone know the name of these?

a type of Echeveria

Where I live, we call it a staghorn fern.

We definitely saw these before.

Looks jovi barba (?sp) ish

We have these growing wild in Arizona.

This has been planted on top of a cactus stem.

i have this one, mine it's just dark green with white dot, i think its a reflection, btw its really common

This is how they grow lasagna.

This reminds me of Alaskan king crab legs.

Well, this one has mossed over.

This one looks like a moss toad. I think there was a BP thread on it the other day.
