Card Set No. 6 – Quiet Water

Succulents often look like little sculptures. Their thick leaves, stems, and unusual shapes are not just aesthetic, however; they are the result of an amazing adaptation to extreme habitats.

Over long periods, succulents have adapted to heat, intense sunlight, and long dry spells. Where water is rarely available, they store it in their leaves or roots. Some species can thus survive for months on the water they absorbed during brief rainfall.

What appears calm and almost static from the outside is a sophisticated water-storage system on the inside. The plants themselves become small reservoirs – silent oases in a dry landscape.

"Quiet Water" reveals this hidden side of succulents: plants whose fascinating forms emerge directly from their ability to collect, preserve, and use water as sparingly as possible.
