I really like your plant...beautiful curl-up leaves, and the color.

It's plants like this that make me wanna pack up and move to a warmer climate.

It's certainly one of my prized possessions in my succulent garden. It's about a metre wide and always has people asking me what it is!?! Here's a pic to show the size a bit better :) Also take no notice of the rocks as ground cover I have yet to decide what I am going to put down it is still a work in progress.

It is already very nice succulents garden. Gravel/pebbles/rocks are perfect ground cover yet, maybe just few large ones. Is that a crassula (jade) tree on the right?

Yep it sure is! I have had it many, many years.

That is fabulous. Is that one cutting or all of the ones you rooted?

Initially I thought mutation, but then it could be many, many growing along one stem in there somewhere, like often happens when you behead an echeveria?? They have all got to be connected to something.

Totally pristine. I want whatever that is!!!

Your fence is quite attractive too. (Never thought I'd actually write that sentence out ever...) How are those pots suspended up there on the left?

This particular one is from one large leaf. Not all the cuttings that I had. The others are very small and fit in my palm. This leaf decided the time and conditions were right for it to flourish I suppose! Go hard or go home kind of thing lol!!

Lol about my fence .. It is the standard fence here in Australia.

In regards to my suspended pots ...

My mother in law gave it to me for my birthday, I've put some cuttings from my garden in the pots. So far - so good :)

I took a photo from the back of the plant to find the bottom .. Was a little tricky but I can see it is actually forming a woody stem.

Its very squeaky when you move the heavy rubber like leaves. Here's a picture of one leaf with my hand as a comparison.

Hmm, if it is positively the same plant,, I think it has to be some sort of mutation, no?

Maybe like a succulent fascination. I once had this seedling that turned into a giant shiso plant with hundreds of leaves growing out of the stem, then additional whole plants, etc. I have not seen it but I wonder if succulents have something like that happen as well.

I would also be really curious about what happens if you chop off that whole stem growing out on the bottom half and plant it separately. I wonder if it would continue this form of growth or revert with the new leaves when not attached to the mom. Though if it were mine, I'd not want to ruin the appearance to try, I suppose.

Fascinating, Tahneal!

Thanks for the hanging pot frame photo. I want to make something like that. It's so cute and could nearly double the amount of pot space I have in full sun! :-)

It is soooo beautiful.

Funny you should say that Grace, I took a bit from the very back so you can't notice and plan to plant it to see what becomes of it. I'll keep you all posted along the way :)
