It was very cloudy, winy and rainy day today. One of those days that gives you headache that doesn't want to leave you. And even though normally I like weather like that, today I wish I didn't get out of bed. But coffee wont make itself...
And I think today for the first time this fall I missed a bit of summer. Not the hot and sweaty summer. But the bright and sunny one with warm wind and long day.
I picked some sunny shots to go against the weather then. This is my... or was my Aeonium. I received on cutting from a friend that was growing happily in a pot near my cacti. And then that silly thing decided to bloom before it managed to grow any offshoot.
What does that mean? It means that I have no more Aeonium! The stem that blooms will die after its done with the flowers. And since I only had one stem.. it is a bye bye plant. Such a shame.. it was one of those lovely black ones :(
I can't remember the name of it. He told me what it is exactly and I am tempted to say it is Aeonium arboreum Atropurpureum, but it might as well be something else :). It is this type of Aeonium though.
At least the flowers were nice. A bright yellow cluster of little stars. I would still prefer to have a plant than see the flowers one time only.
The plant normally can grow nice and big with multiple branches. Then even if it blooms the other stay and keep growing producing new offshoots... and so on. So the flowers don't really kill the whole plant. And it does looks nice with multiple flower stems too.
Bummer...
See the little pots behind? This is a small chunk of my cacti army :)
