Senecio cristobalensis

I just love this plant. Love, love, love! It was a weak-knee moment when I first came across it at Heronswood where I was wandering around in a pleasant plant stupor when it just presented itself to me. The gorgeous leaves (I've never seen it bloom) hold morning dew like liquid jewels. I also love the way it catches--in this instance--the late afternoon fall light. After several attempts at propagation, I finally found success. I'm hoping I don't lose my mojo because I'm leaving several plants in the ground to see if they winter over. (I'm still keeping a few in the greenhouse over the winter!)
