| I've had this for a few years, but this is the first time I'll get to see a bloom. A type of senico, I think.
Here's the plant
And here's the bud

| Ity does look like a Senecio, you'll know for sure when the flower opens as it will be kind of like a peeled back daisy, as its in that family(Asteraceae) I believe they may be smelly too! |

| After a spelling lesson from Larry, I was able to do a Google search. I'm calling it Senecio anteuphorbium. |
|
| it also looks a lot like a Notonia... i would be more inclined to call it that. -ming |

| No scent. I'm sticking with Senecio anteuphorbium, as these sites seem to confirm: http://www41.tok2.com/home/fwkf8336/syokugoubenka/goubenka.files/g500. jpg http://mastardieu.chez.tiscali.fr/succulentes/SSENANT.JPG http://www.pflanzenbuch.de/modules.php?name=Galerie&file=index&include =view_photo.php&set_albumName=sukkulenten&id=senecio_anteuphorbium |
