    I know I know it ... but can I remember! :scratch: It is triple the size now and it is going to a new home tomorrow and I would like to tell John what it is. Thank you in advance. It does flower but can't find a pic. The plant bottom right.

        Ah ha, I have this pic of Aeonium arboreum ...
        Aeonium arboreum.jpg
        ... I have just read it grows 90-150cms tall so a good job John is taking it so he can put it with the Kalanchoe Thyrsiflora 'Hot Lips' plant it is sitting next to in the pic.

          Is that also an Opuntia in the pot next to it?

            It looks like it could be Aeonium Spathulatum , yellow flowers in spring , gets to 60 cm or so in height. :)

              Yes, it went to John's with the Kalanchoe ... I just gave him everything in the pot so I could put the Nandina 'Fire Power' in it last year.

              It could be. I can't remember what colour the flowers were to be honest and I can't find a photo.

                I think most Aeoniums tend to have yellow flowers, I dont get flowers every year but one from a few years ago.

                      Cant find it, but the flowers are very similar to the one I posted above.
                      I had a couple of Aeonium nobile flower many years ago, that was white and massive.

                        I have looked again and cannot find any bloom photos. They were insignificant on a long stem, not a cone shaped head and pale yellow/pale green rather like this internet photo of A undulatum, which is probably why I did not photograph it.

                            Thanks Lem. That is "had" as I gave all in the pot away in the summer except they were all at least three times larger. The same person took the Aeonium away today along with some other shrubs/trees.

                              Still cant find the A. Schwarzkopf flowers but found A. nobile, it tends to be monocarpic, (it was with me), but I've got another one on the go.
                              The current plant.

                              A flower from years ago, they are pretty impressive.
