r/aeoniums

I realized that The Huntington was a short detour on my way out of the LA area, so I swung by to pick up this Aeonium from their 2026 catalog (you have to order online even to pick it up!). Too bad I didn’t have time to visit the gardens - will have to find a way to do that one day!

Anyway, from the description on their website, it sounds like it is likely some kind of genetic mutation caused it to have leaf curvature and hooks/notches.
