Medusa, All Grown Up
Uploaded: November 15, 2014 | Entered: November 15, 2014 14:21:03
...half of it, anyway.
The photo today is the final flowering stage of the Cotyledon plant that I've nicknamed Medusa, for the mophead look it has. I've posted several photos of this in the past two years ~ clearly a favorite.
Yesterday's post was the very early bud stage of this plant. It doesn't look all that impressive, so I wanted everyone who hasn't seen this before to understand why I like it so much.
Bonus tip: if you type in Cotyledon - Plant on Google, you'll find an incredible number of succulents with this "umbrella name". And I thought I was growing the only two versions!
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
