| Ariole Al had previous shown his Tylecodon wallachii, a nice winter-grower. His plant was knobless, for the most part.
Mine, looking a little worse for transport and having undergone an unintentional limb amputation, is not as knobby as I had thought, but nonetheless has a number of protuberances. 
I'm hopeful that it will start to flower in several month. |

| What does the flower look like on this guy? Is it a senecio relative? |

| Dear Patrick, That guy (actually a girl, because this plant was carrying a Hermes handbag just before the picture was taken) is a relative of our mutual friends Kalanchoe and Aeonium; however, it's also one of the most toxic of the succulent Crassulaceae. It does grow like some of the succulent Senecio, though, doesn't it? I frankly hadn't noticed that before. The flowers are not unlike those found on Kalanchoe orgyalis. |

| Sir Jeffrey, That plant is a very nice specimen. Did the mishap occur coming/going to 'the' show? If so, I certainly hope there is a blue bandage. Let's hope you can encourage the wayward appendage to produce roots. I have flowers (first one opened today) on mine, a mere babe compared with your 'big mamma'. Many thanks for the post. Al |

Thanks to your advice Mr Harris, I'm being much more careful handling this plant. Al |

| Is it a senecio relative? Tylecodon are related to crassulas, kalanchoes etc,(Crassulaceae) but Senecio is a member of the daisy family(Asteraceae/Compositae) Great looking plant Jeffrey! |

| Wow, Jeff. That's all I really have to say. WOW!!! That is a wonderful plant! Why is it being moved? Are you re-landscaping, or is it just moving in/out? What a gorgeous plant! Kate |
