This is blooming over on our side yard. I don't know what it is, but the geometry of it fascinates me. The top view is so dense with yellow flowers that it seems like a solid mass. I left the photos large, so they might be worth a click.
The profuse pyramid of nine-petaled yellow blossoms certainly looks right, and the leaves visible in the background look like a good match, too. I don't think I'm ever going to see them up here, though, except maybe as a houseplant: it gives their plant hardiness zone as 9b, while we are only around 4.
Very nice! I thought they might be some kind of sedum at first, but it turns out that sedum blossoms have five petals, while yours have nine.
ReplyDeleteI did find these plants, though, that are related to the sedums - the Pinwheel Desert Rose:

I popped over to say it looks like an aeonium, too. This page says "Zwartkop," but somehow I'm guessing it's not incredibly pure. :)

Do they have any notable scent?
Great sleuthing, both of you! Wife kitteh says it's also called a Black Rose succulent. Foxie, I found it under the Zwartkop moniker, too.
ReplyDeleteNo scent at all.
