Succulent ID'd by Oron as Aeonium decorum
« on: May 04, 2014, 02:09:00 AM »
This one branches a lot and forms a clump. The largest leaves are about an inch long. The flower spike about 8 or 9 inches high. Any ideas?

I have a small garden in Rome, Italy. Some open soil, some concrete, some paved. Temperatures in winter occasionally down to 0°C. Summer temperatures up to 40°C in the shade. There are never watering restrictions but, of course, there is little natural water for much of June, July and August.

Id suggest a hybrid Graptopetallum, possibly with a Sedum or Echeveria. There are rather a lot of them bred by amateurs.
