Maybe "water wise gardenïng" fits the theme better.
Any succulent and drought resistant plants which do not harm my aloes are welcome.
Strolling through the garden a few days ago, this scene triggered a memory.
Take a second look.
That was very long ago I know - but does "feed me !!!!" ring a bell ?
The weird plant in "Little shop of horrors" ... A very old rock
musical (but the kids still enjoy to see it.)
This plant is so realistic to the plant in the musical
that I could hear it say - "Feed me !!"
While taking this photo I had a strange feeling it might snap at my finger.
Now serious. This is a very easy water-wise plant that can grow
well over a meter high. The hairy leaves are soft with a velvet touch.
It was cultivated from Kalanchoe beharensis from Madagascar....
aha ... I knew it. I would expect something like that from Madagascar.
yes?....

You were very brave putting your finger so close to its mouth! :)
Oh hi Eurica! What a funny and great post! I had never seen that movie, and I asked my husband if he remembered that plant that said "feed me" and he did!!! I will have to see it now! The Kalanchoe is very pretty...do you have others in your landscape??? I just recieved a K. Gastonis-bonnieri (Donkey Ears) plant from a fellow blogger...it is really nice too! I am a sort of Kalanchoe lover (of all sorts)! See you around!!!
