My oldest #Aeonium (Aeonium garnet) is in the process of death blooming!💀🪦 🌸
Photos 1-3 track its progress between Jan 6th and now. The last photo shows some of its many offsets, which will carry on its legacy once it leaves us for the great garden in the sky lol 😛
An interesting little factoid: Most Aeoniums are monocarpic, which means they only flower once in their lifetime. flowering is like a last hurrah, using up all its remaining energy. Other monocarpic plants include Sempervivum and some Kalanchoes and Peperomia 🤓

Beautiful @stephonicle. I feel so bad telling people who don't know they have a death bloom going. Especially when they're excited about it flowering. Someone's gotta tell em though, ya know?!
@OrangeGrass you don't have to do anything really! As long as it has offsets they can take care of themselves. You can also remove and replant them in a separate pot or wherever your heart desires 🤓
@stephonicle also some aloes are monocarpic.
I know people that did all they could to make sure theirs didn't flower because they'd put so much into it and didn't want it to death bloom 😂

@stephonicle it’s so pretty! I love tho, the sacrifice the plant makes for its final hurrah! Such beauty.
BEAUTYMOUS!!!!!
