do they grow where you are, David; they are suddenly everywhere here; no one I spoke to knows their proper name — or even their ‘improper’ name 🙂

It’s the Aeonium Arboreum,
or Irish Rose, if you wish to be
informal, John. A succulent by
any other name.

Isn’t that right Mister Malone? 😎

The bees must have forgotten to put ornaments on “their” trees.
