They normally flower during early spring, but many have flowered early this year. It is mid-winter here atm.

Don’t think I’ve ever noticed these beauties flower before.

It’s known as , aka the tree aeonium, tree houseleek, or Irish rose.

These plants are normally not so impressive in garden settings, imo, but seeing these bright yellow conical blooms has raised my estimation of these beauties… no end!

I read with note, that these are an invasive weed in places outside its natural distribution. And from my observations over the years, they’re hearty (relatively drought resistant) and their longevity is epic.

is gorgeous when looked after in a garden and controlled.

Otherwise, it can become an invasive weed in places outside its natural distribution, for example as a garden escape throughout temperate southern Australia.

Most can look a little unkempt / scraggly but this one in is superb!
