Crassula Ovata
"Gollum" Tricolor
About the Artwork
The Crassula Ovata 'Gollum Tricolor' comes from my own succulent collection. I appreciate succulents for their resilience and richness of color – and yes, the name is indeed a nod to Tolkien's world, making it especially charming for fans of The Lord of the Rings.
What fascinates me most about this variety are the flowing color transitions from lush green through bright yellow to delicate pink-red. The spoon-shaped, fleshy leaves give the plant an almost sculptural quality – each form a small work of art in itself.
