Faucaria felina, commonly called Tiger Jaws, is a fascinating mesemb (ice plant family) with pairs of thick, triangular leaves edged with soft, white, tooth-like spines that resemble an open jaw. The leaves are green, often with a rough texture. In fall, it produces large, daisy-like yellow flowers that open in the afternoon sun. It's a conversation piece for any succulent collection.
