Id for my neighbour please.

Post by Tiggy »

My friend has just sent these photos of one of her plants asking me if I knew what it was. I can't recognize it so am asking if someone here can help with any ideas. My first thought looking at the leaves was Gasteria but the flowers don't match. :-k

Crassula falcata, isn't it? Or do they call it Crassula perfoliata now? Nice specimen, spectacular flowers.

Yup! I think the full name is Crassula perfoliata var. falcata 'Airplane plant' or 'propeller plant'.
I got myself a young one last month, hopefully one day it will bloom beautifully like that!
