Tylecodon wallichii subsp. wallichii making most of summer

Many young and some old Tylecodon wallichii subsp. wallichii inflorescence stalks are erect or angled above the plant in summer. The flowers are here mostly horizontal in bud and when open.

The thick, branched stems of the plant are dark, the stem-tip tufts of dry leaves by now red-brown (Smith, et al, 2017; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; iNaturalist).
