Neutral Kell On Oct 18, 2008, Kell from Northern California, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

This aeonium is made up of multiple small rosettes about the size of a silver dollar which will curl up into a ball and change to a bronze color when it does not get water for extended periods of time. Due to this mechanism it can withstand long periods of drought and neglect. When happy its green leaves are fuzzy and fat. This species is found in its native La Gomera which is a Canary Island located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. It is considered endangered.
