I seriously doubt it will get that far. Still monitoring the situation to see if there will be a branch I can save ... after intensive soap spraying to keep the aphids down to a dull roar.
The haworthii here is self fertile and a volunteer actually showed up in a pot one floor up, on the other side of the house (I grew it to size to confirm it matched the parent). Pretty amazing, but then our climate is kind of ideal for these plants. If there is one Aeonium I can leave alone and provide the bare minimum of care in containers, it's that species.
These 3 are cuttings I started a month ago, now rooted and going strong. Sunburst, Cyclops, Zwartkop (latter 2 started in 3 gallon pots). These are the parents of the next generation; all other rosettes were passed on to others.
Another hybrid of Zwartkop, this one with simsii, looking pretty good in its second year.
Plants in the public garden... 'Lily Pad' (some serious herbivory in action) and one of its parents, nobile (apparently not as delicious)
Finally this slightly blurry image shows the tiny dry season rosettes of a landscape plant waiting for the rains.
