Field Notes

Description:

Aeoniums are odd looking succulents, with long, arching stems and rosettes of leaves. There are about 35 species and most are native to the Canary Islands and like a Mediterranean climate. Most form small shrubs of multiple waxy rosettes on a basal stem. The leaves of many species have attractive variations. Flowers star-shaped and typically yellow, borne on mature plants in pyramid shaped clusters at the end of the stems.

Habitat:

Casa Romantica grounds.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991, Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens was built by city father Ole Hanson as his family home in 1927.
The grounds feature succulent gardens, original tile walkways, a small amphitheater, all kinds of nooks and crannies, and sweeping ocean views.
