Ihlenfeldtia excavata
Ihlenfeldtia is a small genus in the Aizoaceae, or Ice Plant Family. Its short succulent bluish leaves give no hint of the fireworks that emerge when it flowers, and the show is especially colorful because the flowers start out pale pink, then change to pale yellow and then finally to orange. A show-stopper! From Namaqualand in northwestern South Africa.
