I am fascinated by unusual plants.
Sometimes I buy them because I have doubts that they are real…
like Sea Monkeys.
Well here is one that has proved itself to be real.
This Life Saver plant has finally made a bloom.
For two years it has done nothing but sling little pieces of itself out of the pot like a self-purging cloner.
Finally it has a bloom.
The bloom looks just like the pictures.
Yes. It does look like there is a life saver candy in the middle.
Huernia zebrina, I believe!

Depends on how far south you are. Here they probably could.

I have a similar plant and it took 8 years to bloom and has never bloomed again.

Oh, no! This little thing is a weirdo. Its new pieces branch out and break off. It’s sort of funny to find little pointy arms lying around.
