This tassely wonderfulness is actually the flower of a very common succulent: Aeonium. Succulents don't get a lot of good press about their flowers, so when I came across this one in Golden Hill, I had to stop and snap a photo of it. Yes, it is green instead of some bright and flashy color, but just for the Doctor Seuss quality of it, it gets my thumbs up!

that is a cool plant, how long would a plant like that be in flower for?
ReplyDeleteMore than a month! Remember, though, that once it is done flowering, that stem will die. Just remove it and allow the others to grow up and take its place.
