Was visiting a friends grave in the Hillcrest cemetery today and spotted this lovely view. These folks not only rest in peace but also beauty.
I just looked it up too and got the same results. Succulents like this and similar abound in southern California where I live .
My curiosity was aroused, too, by Snowlover's image, and after some poking around I learned that Allyance is indeed right, that this is a succulent. Apparently it is very prevalent in the Maltese islands but has also spread elsewhere to other warmer environments, too....
As much as I could determine, the official name is Aenonium Arboretum, Crassulaceae (hope I spelled that right!) and it is a kind of subshrub or little tree, more commonly known as "Tree Houseleek" or "Tree Aenium" or "Irish Rose." it's a succulent plant which flourishes primarily in the subtropics.![]()
They are a strange plant. Very thick and soft, easy to break a stem. If you do, just stick it in a pot of dirt, and off it goes to generate a new plant.I just looked it up too and got the same results. Succulents like this and similar abound in southern California where I live .
You all got there naming it before I did! I understand that to propagate you should leave the cuttings/broken pieces to callus over for a couple of days before potting. I don't know if that still applies when in a hot climate, probably a bit of experimentation needed!They are a strange plant. Very thick and soft, easy to break a stem.

should I worry?
