just for interest 7
A while ago Tina sent me some seedlings of Aeonium glandulosum HAJ 232 which I think come from Maderia. Now they have grown a little I couldn't help noticing that they look a bit like tabularforme..........[attachment 2512 ao1.jpg]

......however they have the most delightful clear "beads" along the leaf edges which look particularly nice when seen against the sunlight.

Re: just for interest 7
....the tabularforme is just " hairy ". I think I am right in saying Tina sent it to me, my memory is fading. Only the other day I asked my wife for a digital projector and she said I'd had it and do you know I can't find it anywhere!:(

Not many spikes Roy 
It is quite a nice paradoxa.

Re: just for interest 7
Hi Bill,
the "spikes" are still slumbering.I was looking at my mamm. senilis on Sunday and I have a few buds but as always those that don't normally produce buds have none. Still inclined to believe there are non flowering clones around.

Re: just for interest 7
Hi Roy,
For me, being a great Aeonium fan, these pics are very interesting.
A. glandulosum does indeed come from Madeira. Have you noticed that this plant is more glandular, i.e. the leaf edges with their "glands" are more prominent when the plant is resting or not growing so fast? Mine is actively growing right now and the glistening leaf edges have "gone".

Re: just for interest 7
Hi Ian,
Nope, the "glands" of A. glandulosum aren't hairs. Technically they're termed trichomes. Liu in his 1989 monograph of the genus Aeonium says of this sp.: "Named for its large, bead-like "glandular" unicellular trichomes".
The quotes around "glandular" refer to the fact, I think, that these aren't true glands, since a gland is an organ that secretes something. These trichomes aren't secretory as far as I'm aware.
