Number 11



During the summer this plant lives on top of my coal bumker where it gets very hot and then during the winter I tuck it up in the greenhouse!! Which is where I took this yesterday. I am sorry to say I don't know its name, I've checked all my books and can't find it! It was an end of season bargain, I didn't care it had no name I just liked it!!!

Lovely - the name of it is in my brain - but won't surface right now!

Just great - the plant, not my memory loss!

What a bright and cheery plant - healthy too (unlike all my pathetic house plants!) I look forward to coming back and visiting your world from time to time!

Thank you for visiting my blog....and I would be honored to have you link to my blog. Thank you for asking. I will do the same.
I have seen versions of this plant before....is it called hen and chicks? I might have it mixed up with something else.

Looks a bit like an Aeonium but not sure which one. Lovely specimen whatever it is.

Whatever name it goes by it certainly looks healthy.
Is it what is classified as a succulent?
It almost has a cactus look to it.

I thought it looked like a hen and chick also. Whatever, it's pretty!

I thought "hens and chickens" when I saw it but it takes the other commentors to make me feel sure of myself.

It looks so green and healthy. Must like being cared for by you.

Love the waxy leaves.

Great photo!
I'm starting to grow more succulents - they don't need as much water!
