That was her collection #752, made March 2, 1997, in the Canary Islands, at the northern tip of the island of Tenerife, in the Anaga Mtns., at 910 m. elevation. The plant occasionally reseeded itself in our shade house for a few years after ISI distribution. In 2009, Karen Zimmerman spied this unusual vegetative form in a seedling among our epiphytic cacti that occupy one side of the shade house. It had rosettes of leaves twisted counterclockwise resembling a pinwheel. This is due to the usually oblique shape of the leaves with the right margin longer, curved, and falcate. The shorter margin is notched below the middle giving the leaf blade a shape like the blade of a medieval halberd, a battle axe with a spike. The pinwheel is a gentler allusion and though the leaves are quite thick and immobile one can almost imagine them spinning in the winds of time. Occasionally leaves are straighter with hook-like notches on both sides of the leaf. Like the parent species, the leaves are gray green but with only scattered, minute teeth along the margins. The plant is much slower growing than the normal form, so it has taken some time to propagate for this distribution. However, it is quite stable, never having reverted to resemble a normal \u003cem\u003eAeonium ciliatum\u003c\/em\u003e Webb \u0026amp; Berthel. in all the years since its appearance. We offer rooted rosettes of HBG 126946. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Huntington Plant Sales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47762732876034,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/8963\/6866\/files\/Aeonium_ciliatum_Pinwheel.png?v=1778623170","url":"https:\/\/plantsales.huntington.org\/products\/isi-2026-aeonoium-ciliatum-pinwheel","provider":"The Huntington Plant Sales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
