Still going strong

It was over a year ago now that I last did a post on my cristate aeonium sunburst (here). At the time I was wondering how long that skinny trunk would last, it looks even more ridiculous today.

 

As the cristate heads have grown, they have branched forming some interesting shapes




It will be even more spectacular if it makes it to this time next year!

  3. Wonderful...even if it snaps off, you should be able to re-root it. Amazing specimen!

    1. As you say it will not be a problem if it does snap, I may be tempted at that point to divide it at that point. But I'm hoping it makes it through another year.

    1. This is one you should be able to pick up quite easily. There are no shortage of cristate ones around.
