Sarcocaulon peniculinum
I have had this plant for at least 25 years, acquired from Bob Potter. Growth is imperceptible, but it flowers regularly every Autumn.
Apologies for out of focus image!

Re: Sarcocaulon peniculinum
Wow. I never managed to keep one anywhere near that long. They are exceedingly slow, and it makes you wonder how old a plant like that must be.

Re: Sarcocaulon peniculinum
I have a Sarcocaulon multifidum for quite some years now. It isn't big, about 5 centimeters, but still alive. Too small for flowers yet, I think. Too be honest, I don't really know well how to take care of it. I just give it water along with the other winter active plants. Seems to go well enough, but I get the idea they might need a bit closer attention to florish.
How is your watering scheme of these, Diane?

Re: Sarcocaulon peniculinum
That's lovely and great that you have kept it for so long, I gave up on these as they survived for me but didn't look happy or healthy but I still have the book so I can look at the pictures 
of how they should look.
