Canary Island Native

The Canary island growing Aeonium has revived after I cut the diseased top off it.I hope it continues to grow into a beautiful black Rosette. It has new baby plants all over the top layer of the stem. They look like mushrooms when they grow wild, with the Creeping Rhizomes putting up new succulent growths.
Its been a long day so more posts tomorrow. Saturday is barbeque day and the rugby world cup final between England and South Africa. Come on Johnny Wilkinson!

For Blackswamp Girl

The Aeonium Shwarzkopf with its dark looking leaves.It is native to the canary islands, Madeira, and North Africa.I think it looks like a house leek on a stem

These have beautiful yellow flowers in the summer, and are supposed to be easy to propogate.This has an enormous leaf head that tipped the pot over it was so heavy.

They need watering in the summer, but not in the winter.They are succulent so they store it in the waxy leaves.

It has a mad range of colour from black to purple to green.I will post more pics when i take them..
