living stone
Camouflaged succulent genus
Living stone usually refers to a small succulent plant native to southern Africa, shaped and colored to resemble a pebble or stone.
The camouflage protects against grazing animals.
The plant splits open to flower, revealing it's alive.
The phrase also appears in biblical and architectural contexts, where believers or building stones are described as spiritually alive: You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house.
