Almost missed this one, 'cause it's so small. Glad I didn't.
First, the context:
See it?
Then the flower itself. The same slightly greenish yellow all over. I can't tell exactly whether there are separate petals or not: you can see indentations like there are five petals, but they look like they're fused. Kinda cool.
And then, finally, the closest picture I could get that was even kinda in focus:
It's definitely unusual: I can't quite reach a decision about whether or not I think it's pretty.

It may not be pretty, but it sure as heck is adorable! :)
Succulents not only have strange forms but unusual flowers. This is a first for me. Thanks for posting.

It's so cute. I probably would have missed it. Thanks for sharing.
I think that tiny little flower is pretty- but you have to look for her! Kind of like some people I know.

Its beauty is in its SHEER WACKINESS! 'Phorbs are so interesting. Thanks for getting the close-up pic!
Reminds us of those little candy flowers you buy to put on cakes. Definitely a cool photo op!
