I find this beautiful. It is an Aeonium arboreum, or a #treeaeonium.

It is known as an invasive weed in places outside its natural distribution.

What is it’s natural habitat?

The plant is endemic to the western Canary Islands of Tenerife, La Palma, El Hierro, La Gomera and Gran Canaria.

These can grow up to 2 metres and their leaves present in flattened rosettes with diameters of 10 to 25 centimetres. Young leaves are pressed tightly together.

They’re super-hearty plants and can survive with very little water - or love. I’ve had a few in the past in pots, otherwise they’ll just keep growing and take over!

And no matter how green one’s thumb is NOT, you won’t be able to kill them!

But the reason why I think I love this plant; just look a the detail and architecture of this natural beauty.
