Aeonium Arboreum Green Rose

Dormant as roses🌹

Casualties caused by rain last night 😓🥲 their flower bunches are so complex that they collected lots of raindrops inside, which eventually made them too heavy to stay upright.... Aeonium Green Rose.

😕

This flower head seems different from other Green Rose's ones. It seems that tiny rosettes are being formed from each sub-branch🤔 Do you know why this is happening?

Going dormant. Larger, lower leaves are all gone, leaving the newer ones without growing them further.

Gorgeous 🤩

Beautiful 💚

Successful result of grafting Chocolate Rose Aeonium into Green Rose Aeonium 👍👍👍

Resulting in a bit of a #splitpersonality effect 👏 #foliagefriday

👏👏👏

@emch "split personality" 😄

Roughly three months later after grafting, only this one, out of five attempts, has survived 😙

One out of five ain't bad

Oh well done! 👏🏼

My biggest Aeonium 😘

For almost one month, this flower bunch has been blooming, but seems to have reached the last phase💛

I didn't want to waste the victim of the nasty wind, and tried to use this BIG flower head for Ikebana 😅 but dunno what to do with it 😅😅

The third or fourth rainy week this autumn/winter turned into a nasty storm, claiming this big flower head as a victim 😭. It was broken off...

More to come 🥰🤩

Wow!

Cool form 🌞

Almost fully blooming💛💛💛

What a big cluster! 💛🌞

Noisy Miner's visiting the blooms 💛💛💛

Here's an update after "unlocking" those closed rosettes. It seems that they're very happy, enjoying today's full sun 🌞🌞🌞

This rosette tightly curls up and haven't opened up at least for a few weeks. I thought maybe a bug or caterpillar would be inside, but the curled part seems empty. The curled part is also very hard. What's happening to this rosette?

More flower bunches 🤩

Very first flower💛

Good idea to get a cutting if you can. I lost this one after flowering.

@rosegardengirl thanks, I'll do that!

Getting straightened up😄

Oh... the one planted in a pot is going to bloom (meaning death bloom? 😥) While none of the others planted in the ground are. Strange...

Experiment. Grafted a rosset of a different aeonium Chocolate Rose

Did the graft work? #graft

Staying healthy in this wet 2022 summer

The biggest aeonium I have, so generous that it breaks off a few big branches which I can give away 😘

Biggest one in my Aeonium collection

Pups in winter!

Repotted after the soil was found mouldy. As many websites say aeoiums need a bit of moisture, the soil mix is 3 part of succulent mix and 1 part of perlite.

Beautiful 💛

Thank you, @suerichards
