Indeed they are Greg, I am thinking maybe the apical portion is more active to re-grow than the base part of the stem. When I chopped of an aeonoium stem right at the base, it did not re-grow anything from that cut off portion..but if lobbed on the top part, it is more actively growing..unless my timing/season to cut them was off....either early fall or early spring seems to work best for my area here.
