Succulent Flower



Here's a new arrival, yet to be planted.  It is calandrinia spectabilis, a succulent that is native to Chile.  This is going to be a good one, as I've read nothing but raves about this plant.  Evidently it blooms endlessly from early Spring through Fall, and the flowers, as you can see, are just an awesome, glowing purple hue.  I should expect this plant to grow up to 12 - 16 inches tall and maybe up to 3 feet wide.
