This interesting South African succulent, crassula falcata, a.k.a. ‘Morgan’s Beauty,’ has never failed to produce these tiny, fragrant flowers. This photo shows the initial stage of the buds, before they develop into bright red (peppered with yellow stamens) and delicately fragrant blossoms. At this stage, they’re neither fragrant nor brilliant, but they’re going to be. Click on the image to enlarge.
UPDATE: After visiting the Botanic Gardens yesterday and seeing the crassula blooms, we are reminded that this is also called “Scarlet Paintbrush.”
