The Fenestraria aurantiaca variegata – known as "Baby Toes" – is a fascinating window-leaf plant from southern Africa. Its upright, club- to finger-shaped leaves carry translucent "windows" at the tips, through which sunlight falls into the leaf interior in nature. The green to jade-colored leaves show delicate pink to orange tones with plenty of light. In autumn and winter, the aurantiaca form produces bright orange, daisy-like flowers – an extraordinary collector's piece.
