A very nice collection. That S. x "Brooks hybrid" is a giant! I am also very interested in the Aeonium glutinosum. I haven't heard of it before.

Very nice shots, and good sized Sars. As much as I love Aeonium, I suspect they are like many plants which exude sticky substances. They inadvertently catch insects, and may even obtain some of the nutrients as the insect corpses decay, but are not truly carnivorous. I'd be excited to be proven wrong as that would make them the first succulent carnivorous plants. Until then, they are a wonderful genus of succulents which are so characteristic on Madeira and the Canary Islands in my mind.
