The theme in our garden is aloes with other water saving plants to keep it interesting.  Maybe "water wise garden�ng" 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?
