Avonia quinaria var. alstonii

These wonderful small succulents are impressive, even at a young age, but as they get older, they produce a caudex which makes the plants even more impressive. For small plants, they surely can steal the show. Check out these additional photos from our nursery list.
Enjoy your plants!

Avonia quinaria ssp. alstonii (white flower)

I recently mentioned that these were blooming like mad. This is what I mean. This one small plant has masses of flower buds and four were open yesterday. Lynn-Marie captured the picture and I'll try to get some more later this week using the tripod, while trying to increase the depth of field. But without doing all that, this picture tells it all; you can hardly see the plant for all the buds!

Avonia quinaria ssp. alstonii

This is the pink flowered form of Avonia quinaria ssp. alstonii.  A lot of these are flowering now, both the white flowered and these. Really neat plants.
