Dolphin Succulents?
When something makes its way around to my friends’ social media, friends who have nothing to do with horticulture for a career, I take notice. Often it’s the Garden Answer videos that gain some traction, but this week it was dolphin succulents.
You read that right. My first thought was: is this the succulents’ response to the unicorn fad? But then my second thought was to do a little research on these plants that look like dolphins jumping out of water.
Have you seen these? Here’s a photo and a description of the cross from It’s a Succulent World. You can get 100 seeds from Amazon for $18.99 or seeds from various sellers on Etsy, all appearing to trace back to Japan.
Are any garden centers offering these? It’s unique, and possibly a short-lived fad, but when I saw Facebook posts with thousands of likes, consumer publications such as Martha Stewart talking about it and numerous blogs sharing photos, you never know if it could be the next big hit.
