A work colleague of mine bought a packet of 'living stone' seeds and 'hey presto' this is what he ended up with   We're pretty convinced that it's not an Aloe having done a bit of research but otherwise, we haven't got a flippin' clue! Anybody any ideas?  ?? S x |

I think there are a good number of Genera which fall under the term "Living Stones", so I suppose it might be like buying a packet of seed marked "Cacti" Like cacti, it should produce little flowers. How interesting. |

We grow them outside all year round on Brighton seafront. They would need a very gritty, free draining soil though.
