Mark Delepine said...: Yours is taller but I think we're growing the same cultivar of Aeonium arboreum 'Cyclops'. Big heads of leaves with ginorumous flowers. No flowers on mine yet this year but here is a link to one its flowers last year with my 50 pound Aussie Fletcher for comparison.

Gabe Port said...: Here in Seattle, I might get the adjacent foxglove to get that tall, in July! but no way to get a Aeonium to look like that, unless I have a greenhouse ;); May 2, 2010 at 6:08 PM
