    Crassula capensis after flowering

    Crassula capensis after flowering
    Author: Ivan Lätti
    Photographer: Thabo Maphisa

    In this photo the seasonal changes in a Crassula capensis plant have progressed beyond flowering, the flowers wilted.

    Their erect and slight nodding habit while in bloom have given way to a decided overall droop that serves to display the narrow, pointed sepals of the calyx.

    The leaves are now also fully developed and some additional stems have pushed up lateral leaf pairs (Manning, 2007; iNaturalist).
