Hi Wouter
Thanks for visiting Plantbook and for sharing our passion for South Africa’s spectacular floral treasures.
It is a truly amazing plant with a wonderful fragrance.
Although not as strongly scented, the Crassula arborescens is another succulent that has a fragrant flower.
Flourish!

Die eerste vetplant wat ek nog ooit teëgekom het met welriekende blomme. Besonder interessante bloeiwyse wat as 1 blom voorkom maar eintlik `n massa klein blommetjies is. God se skepping is ongelooflik fassinerend !
