Rhombophyllum dolabriforme, often called the Elkhorn Plant or Dolphin Toenails, is a quirky and charming mesemb from South Africa. It features thick, fleshy, curved leaves that resemble tiny claws or hooves, often with a velvety texture and bluish-green hue. In late winter to early spring, it produces bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that add a cheerful pop of colour.
