#adromischus

Some scenes from the plant sale, and in the area on the way to and from!

I found a possibly pregnant Euphorbia!

Adromischus marianiae forma herrei

Adromischus is a genus of small plants from southern Africa belonging to the Stonecrop Family (Crassulaceae). The most variable species is Adromischus marianiae, from the winter-rainfall area in western South Africa and the southwestern corner of neighboring Namibia. The plant pictured, Adromischus marianiae froma herrei is particularly striking for the color and texture of its leaves. These can be detached and used to grow new plants, as is true with various other members of the family. The tubular yellowish-green flowers with curled back violet tips are not especially showy, but the plant itself is a constant source of amazement.

Mine is 7 cm tall

It's been standing in full, direct sunlight for 3-4 years, with the barest minimum of dirt, and just the occasional watering when I remember it. And apparently it's thriving.

Here's what it looked like when I first brought it home:
