All Aeoniums
One of the best parts of living along the coast in Santa Cruz is Aeoniums! Come check out my plants!
Aeoniums
These super strange ‘goth succulents’ love living outdoors in Santa Cruz, CA. They thrive on our winter rains and dry Mediterranean summers. [I may slowly be collecting them all.]
There’s not a ton of information about these strange succulent flowers online. The rosettes change color and shape so often that it’s hard to know what to expect!
These “tree houseleeks” are from the Crassulaceae family and many originate from the Canary Islands.

This giant lime green creature was a $10 steal from Succulent Gardens in Moss Landing, CA. Now it needs to be moved using an office chair.

Blushing Beauty Aeonium & Mystery Aeonium #4
These poor creatures absorbed the brunt of my learning curve. But look how they’ve rebounded! Lessons learned: bigger pots, more drainage, more water.

Aeonium arboreum
var. atropurpureum forma cristata
Isn’t this the strangest? A fin shaped aeonium. I’ve only spotted this once, and apparently the internet isn’t quite sure what it is either.

I love the cream and olive green stripes on this creature. And of course it blushes pretty pink in the sun, which is quite endearing.
