Aeonium Arborea Schwarzkopf

After a few years its now flowering, not sure its worth waiting for though.

 

Not particularly exciting is it! but I suppose it is grown for it's foliage.
Does it take from leaf cuttings like Crassula and Kalanchoe?

 

I'm not sure, I've only ever grown it from stem cuttings which are easy.

 

As the flowers open its starting to look a bit brighter.

 

Wow, looking better now, it just reminds me of ragwort! (the flower at least!)

 

Yep, I see where your coming from.
Strange how such dissimilar plants can produce similar flowers.

 

On the other hand they look a bit like Senecio flowers.:D

 

(Ragwort is the Senecio family!)

 

Cant believe these flowers first opened in April.
There are still a few opening but its now growing plantlets as well.

 

That's a long flowering period Pete, are you starting young ones off?

 

I can if anyone is interested Strongy.

I tend to get enough cuttings via the normal methods without it propagating itself this way.

 

Lol where's the big one ?

 

What big one?
