Aeonium arboreum
Another plant which I re potted last year. In fact, there are several cuttings in the pot which I might or might not plant separately.
Again, this plant was given to me as a cutting which became rather big even though I gave away many cuttings over the years.
The first two photos are of the plant producing many flowers in December 2008 and the last photo is of the ‘new’’ plant.
To read about my experiences with Aeonium go to
THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN number 25, July 2001
Having reread the article, it took me back to Israel and Kythera both in the year 2000. John Jefferis drew the drawing of the Aeonium based on a photo I had supplied. Later he sent us the drawing which is now gracing the wall of what is known as the Boys’ room.
Dashing to the photo albums I found the photo of the Aeonium growing on Mount Tabor and the photo of the dried-up plants at Kato Chora, Kythera
