Ha! I took photos today and it sort of looks like a skeleton's bony spine, don't you think? Very Halloweenish
. It is now 49" from the top of the pot to the tip of the plant. The wind blew it over so I had to relocate into one of the stove pipes to secure it. Lucky, no damage from the spill. Still growing. As always, I had trouble getting a closeup, but the one here isn't blurry even if it's not great for detail. I had occasion to be in a neighboring town and dropped by a privately owned nursery. They have a bunch of what looks to be the same plant. They are calling them 'Flapjack Plants', but they have on the label Kalanchoe luciae as well. I have to go back next week. What should I look for on the label? The originating source? I'm tempted to get another one. They have several with pups and mine isn't showing any yet. They are $25 plants, though, way more than I paid for this one.
Here's the skeleton spine:
