I posted a thread on the succulent forum of a great plant, the Propeller plant for our Texas heat . It thrives on neglect. It finally bloomed. It is not the quickest growing plant but , wow , what a bloom!!.

Here is a link that might be useful: Crassula perfoliata sbsp. falcata.

Wow -- how exciting! What a big beautiful colorful bloom on such a little plant. Thanks for posting the link here so we could see it too.

The epi is getting ready for another big show I see. I remember the gorgeous photos you posted last year.

Thank you for reminding me. It is about time for me to check on them. They were just starting to be able to look down into them through the hole in the bud the last time I was out there.

I took about100 pics. Out their crawling around the dirt bathed in fragrance. Then I was up till 2:30am editing and I need to get to work. Deciding on a MODEST number of them is so hard. StainingCapital furniture today. I must work. I must get off the computer and work the old fashion way.
