Crassula rubricaulis
6 comments
Hi again, here is a set of pics of my Crassula rubricaulis flowering in the garden.
It is growing in sandy coastal soil, full sun, and I have not watered my garden for a year now! We had very little rain, 20mm over 2 days for January and 42mm in Feb over 3 days so far. Average temps 28-30C and 19C at night, humidity (60-90%)! Bit of info for those interested.

Thanks, yes I would thinks so - this one does flower late summer/autumn.

I think they probably store plenty of moisture in their foliage!

It's lovely. I like Crassulas.

Thanks. Yes they do Paul, but they are also not loving too much water in summer.
Lots of minute features that is interesting like a hairy line on the leaf margin and small appendage on flower pedal - I love exploring these plants.
