Crassula 'springtime' in bloom

[Shane]

After probably a month of waiting, my C. 'springtime' flowers have started to open. I'd never seen them bloom before, but they might be my favorite succulent flower now (that or Echeveria harmsii). I have four springtime plants which I started from a single cutting in 2017 and they're all starting to boom

Anybody know if these are monocarpic? They're flowering from the main stem instead of putting out a side branch (I know a lot of monocarps flower this way). All of mine are in bloom and I'm starting to worry...

The flowering growing point is terminal but plant will form side shoots. At leas what my other ‘stacked’ crassulas did.

That's very encouraging to hear. I know one of its parents, C. perfoliata is polycarpic, but I'm not sure about the, other C. rupestris. C. rupestris is a classic "stacked" Crassula so fingers crossed. If they do die, at least I'll have a lot of seed...

On another note, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me a Crassula would be monocarpic anyway. Some apparently are though (like C. capitella). I thought Crassula were difficult to grow from seed, but maybe not if some are monocarps
