Blooms the size of dinner plates......Aeonium Swartzkoph.

Wow, fantastic. I have never had one of those, are they easy to look after Dotty, I think I might be tempted.

Is it Aeonium Dd?.....I love this....Do you take it indoors during winter?....

Cinders not too difficult, we keep it outside all summer and then bring it in for the winter. Mot yes it is an Aeonium.

Beautiful, beautiful Dd.....used to love growing these, we were very lucky one Winter in Spain, one of the larger ones sent out brilliant yellow cone flowers.

just love the deep colour of these ;o)

They are gorgeous , I love them , I hope mine survive the winter ... £7.50 was an awful lot of money 20 years ago ..you have made it pay for it's self several times with the cuttings you have taken off it Dd :o))

Janey this one has never flowered the green ones have.....Amy that is why I remember how much it was, at the time we thought we had been overcharged, we have only taken a few cuttings mainly for our daughter, who promptly lets it die........she is better with silk flowers lol

lovely colour .... dont no wot it is tho lol

Cristina, if you look on the right side of the page under What Else it will usually tell you what the name of the plant is (providing it is growing in their garden) have added the name now for those that are new to the site, and your right it is a lovely colour, in the summer the whole plant is black even more spectacular.

Love it.....

Thanks Sandra, unfortunately it got very wet and started to rot, so we have taken loads of cuttings to start again......so far, so good.

i have to do that regularly DD2 and anyway if they keep getting bigger we would have no room for them...:-)

Same here Sandra.....

is it windy with you DD2? its been howling here for weeks but at least it keeps the frost off my plants.

Sandra the weather has been horrible so wet, and gale force winds too, but as you say it does keep the frost away.
