Macro Photography Session | Xerophilia Plant

Hi everyone

Xerophilia
After a brief research I came to the conclusion that the label that comes with the plant does not identify the name but the species.
Xerophilia is the name given to plants that are adapted to dry habitats and survive with small amounts of water, also known as succulents.
These plants live in dry conditions in relation to the soil and the atmosphere, presenting special structural and functional adaptations, storing water and nutrients in the stem and roots and their leaves reduced to spicules.

Without more delays, let me present the model

Among the various possible techniques to shoot macros, this is perhaps the most affordable and effective technique for those who have a camera with removable lens.
