So we've all seen the cute little succulents that Millenials, myself included, love to keep around the house to pretend they can take care of plants.

BUT, did you know that there is a region in Africa almost exclusively populated with succulents? Succulent Karoo contains 1/3 of all succulent species, and 40% of them are endemic (meaning they only occur there)! That's pretty impressive in terms of biodiversity.

I think it would be awesome if Lioden had a background and some decors celebrating some of Africa's more unique plant life. While I'm pretty sure the Badlands background is based on other parts of the Karoo region, I would love to see one that displayed some of the awesome plant life, like this. The area is also known for the oodles of Asteraceae flowers that grow there, resulting in landscapes covered in color like so. This could be fun for April?

Even if the background doesn't happen, I'd also love to see some decors that represent some more succulent species. I think so far we only have aloe and prickly pear (which is non-native). Here are some potential species that could be neat:
Halfmens (Pachypodium namaquanum)
Botterboom (Tylecodon paniculatus)
Crassula tomentosa
