It is amazing how succulents tend to get rosy edgings in winter!
This normally dull grey plant has large leaves - the outer ones about the size of a slice of bread.
It has been growing in the rockery for a number of years and has never flowered.
Last year I took cuttings and planted them against the brick wall at the front of the house.
Much to my surprise, this year a thick meter-long stem emerged from one of the biggest plants.
Clusters of small flowers cover the length of the stem.
