Thanks again to everyone for all the thumbs, acorns, and nice comments.
Sorry I don't have pics of the blooms handy.
BTW, I've started a project to organize my several GB's of images on a 4 TB drive.
I think the pits in the red one are due to hail, but the blemishes on
the pic for the banner may be some fungus (?), but mostly disease free.
Great in pots or in the ground, but watch out for snails.
re: C.falcata......If you want a "perfect" plant, just break off a piece at the tip and plant it.
It will be ~2ft tall in 4 yrs or less, but gets too heavy, and will eventually break if not
given support.
Or cut off the tips to keep it a reasonable size, and make more plants, which I will do
after this blooms in the Fall.
Just estimating growth rate, but you should get 2X as many bloom heads (~50 flowers per head)
each year. Depending on the age of the plant, the clusters/heads can be ~4"X6" each.
1st year 6" tall 1 clusters
2nd year 12" 2 clusters
3rd year 18" 4 clusters
4th year 24" 8 clusters
Very showy.
The other crassula turns red as it gets older. Very pretty back lit by the sun.
It probably blooms, but the leaves are the best feature.
Please send me a treemail if you'd like a cutting of either or both the crassulas.
