Crassula in flower...

that is pretty

Quite a rare moment B. !

Wonderful Sandra ! Mine haven't flowered for years.

Hywel, mine have never flowered!

Thanks Sticki,and Grandmage..it seems to thrive on neglect..it has only started flowering since we moved here,which was 10 years ago,yesterday..so it must be a position it likes better..:o)

Thank you Hywel..it is in the Conservatory,so it gets extremes of temperatures..very hot in summer,and very cold in winter..I do put it outside a lot in summer though.
I wonder if the cold stimulates it to flower ? it would be nice to know why it is a hit and mostly miss plant,as regards flowering...

I bought a crassula on a bike trip near Glastonbury eons ago. On a table outside someone's house with an honesty box. I gifted it to my parents and years later (like yours) it suddenly put up an extraordinary pink flower tower :)

Very pretty

Lovely to see the flowers, Sandra.
Pretty photo :o)

Mine was a cutting from a friends plant,originally and it has had lots more from it ,over the years..We had a charity coffee morning once,and sold 10 at £1 each..besides ones done for family..so a very good freebie,Servernside :o)

Thanks Paul,and Terra..It's a much loved plant,despite me treating it mean,and keep cutting it back now and then ! :o)

very nice indeed Bloomer

Thanks Yorkshire..glad you like it .:o)

That was a nice surprise for you Sandra :o)

it was Amy..the buds appeared a few weeks ago,but have only just opened.:o)

Wow! Is your plant 20 years old? A 20 year old jade plant here would be around 8ft/2.5m tall.

Jade shrubs are blooming everywhere here, now.

Yep it sure is about that age,Delonix..They would never grow so big here,under normal house conditions..and if mine gets bigger,it looks very straggly,so I cut it back about every 2 or 3 years,to keep it bushy.It has a very thick trunk and branches though..I suppose you could say,I have made it into a kind of Bonsai ! Lol. ..I bet they all lovely in bloom :o)

Did you see the pic I put on of my Dads one? His had never flowered till this year and its still going strong..its beautiful! :) Glad yours flowered :)

Yes I remember ,Pixi..and I thought of it when mine started flowering..glad it's still doing well for him :o)

Bloomer:

Thanks for the information!

I'll be posting some large jade plants in bloom soon. :>)

My one is a lot bigger then Dads but never ever flowers :(

I would love to see them,Delonix..that would be great..:o)

It will sometime,Pixi..they seem very fickle,and bloom when they feel like it ..just you see..one day ! :o)
