The theme in our garden is aloes with other water saving plants to keep it interesting.  Maybe "water wise gardenīng" fits the theme better.  Any succulent and drought resistant plants which do not harm my aloes are welcome, even this one .... 

Strolling through the garden a few days ago, this scene triggered a memory.

Take a second look.

That was very long ago I know -  but does "feed me !!!!" ring a bell ?

 

Little shop of horrors...   A very old rock musical (but the kids still enjoy to see it.)   This plant is so realistic to the plant in the musical that I could hear it say - "Feed me !!" 

While taking this photo I had a strange feeling it might snap at my finger. 

Now serious.    This is a very easy water-wise plant that can grow well over a meter high.  The hairy leaves are soft with a velvet touch.  It was cultivated from Kalanchoe beharensis  from Madagascar....  aha ... I knew it.  I would expect something like that from Madagascar ... yes?
