Give PEACE a chance!

Finally! Crassula arborescens got a full bloom out!

Hoping the other buds can follow, as we continue to experience a much milder than normal Spring.

Night bloomer like this is always a dilemma for me, too lazy to stay until midnight for the flowers, but if we don't want to enjoy the bloom, then what is the point for growing them.

If they look healthy, do nothing

True! My night bloomers are pretty much open by about 10 pm, fully open at the time we go to bed at 11pm. So, no problem.

Glad it stayed open Tarev and you get to enjoy it. The ones I planted from seeds are getting big! But no blooms yet. It is almost 2 years old.

Such pretty blooms, Gigi, and Tarev! I'm more likely to see a night bloomer @ dawn.

now Tiffany the leaves alone are pretty by itself and looks like the buds are already promising!

You're welcome! Nothing wrong with that, yours to pass around however you want. : ) Just wish I knew where they came from.

I'm a few weeks behind. I have buds forming. The constant blooming are sedum adolphi.
