Named "Tom Thumb" for its diminuative size like the tiny guy in the old fairy tale. This hybrid was created in a greenhouse in the Netherlands by plantman W. J. Ruysch. Picture paired, tiny, chubby, triangle-shaped succulent leaves stacked on little stems this way and then that way, opposing pairs strung like square beads on the stems. They grow up to around 6", bunches of them leaning on each other and swaying a bit as they get heavier. Tinted in bright, translucent, fresh light green, in brightest sunlight a brilliant scarlet red flushes over the leaf tips, outlining each one and with a sprinkle of bright red freckles on them too. In the winter, when you are longing for flowers, Tom Thumb will burst out from the top small bouquets of the purest white, 5 petaled posies with a tiny red ring in the center, circling a tiny yellow dot at the center. They are sweetly scented too.
