As you say Rod, a lovely display of flowers; my Echeverias seem to have flowered particularly well this year. Is this a plant that came 'out of the dark'?

That's a lot of flowers on a very small plant. The weather this year must have suited it.
Obsessive Crassulaceae lover, especially Aeoniums but also grow, Aloes, Agaves, Haworthias and a select number of Cacti.

No Juster. This plant was one of the lucky ones and avoided "the dark". It spent last summer on the balcony of our flat and was moved into the conservatory at our new place last October, where it has been ever since. It bloomed well last summer, with 8 heads. This year I have counted 13.

It does seem like a good year; my Echeveria Elegans is in the soil and has three flower heads and two of them have been on for around two months without withering!

Your plant is obviously happy Rod. Perhaps the dark would have been too much for this one, but I remain amazed at how the others survived.
