Yellow Aeonium Flowers
Aeonium “Schwartzopf” in bloom. I’ve never bothered to photograph one of these giant pyramidal bloom stalks before since I don’t like them. In general, these can take so much energy out of the plant that we recommend you cut them off before they get this far or it can kill the plant.
This one is in my front yard and is from our original parent plant from back when we started the nursery. We haven’t taken any cuttings from this one in many years since we had originally over-harvested it, but its back looking good these days. So you would think I would cut this off, but it’s only one branch out of many so I figured we could let it go. This one time. But never again!
