OK I've decided to show the succulant side of my collection too. So as usual I know nothing about the plant other than I like how it looks. But here is my succulant of the day.

That's a really nice plant. It actually looks like it might be a decent age... since they tend to be rather fragile, I'd be quite proud to own something like that.

I've actually got two of them. I try to take a cutting where I can in case one gets sick.
