A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Cacti and Succulents in the Garden succulent blooming

Last fall I notice a stem growth from the Center of this succulent,, But Felt I missed possible blooming,, Cricket said she has the same plant and had missed seeing it on hers, yet had the same center growth as mine.
This year I caught it in bloom or blooming as the case is on this one,, Tiny tiny white w/green stripes tubular blooms

this succulent appears to be sending out baby's as an extended growth, I've watched it daily since the new growth began and No blooms , but a cluster of what appears as the same as the mother plant at the end of the growth. I'm wondering IF I cut that off IF it will root to begin another plant??? anyone know??

and yes you see a random Zinnia growing in my cactus /succulent cantainer
Birds!!

Wow! I remember looking at those!!! Who would have thought that stem and flowers would come out of that. That's gives me a different attitude towards those kind of plants. They would be very interesting to watch.

Joclyn the first or second plant?? And thanks!

Thanks Joclyn

The second one kinda looks like my pencil cactus?

Nope I 've never trimmed it, it was tiny when I planted it in there it is at least five times bigger now then it was,, it is much wider then it appears,, due to angle of camera,, it's very soft, fuzzy,, ,
