Lithops - Pebble Plants
They spend most of the year cunningly disguised as small green pebbles and then for just a week or so, they flower.
They have the alarming tendency for the two pebble like leaves to shrivel and go all mushy and soggy just before producing two new leaves to replace the old ones. In my early days of keeping them I have been known to throw healthy plants away thinking they were dead.
This one must be twenty years old by now and has faked its own death many times, but I'm wise to it now!
The sun was catching it just perfectly so it was a run and grab the camera, macro moment!
