I'd say Aeonium too. That would be well dead by now here
Been plenty autumnal here. Just miserable and wet now, as is the norm, but we've had a nice spell of cold dry stuff to enjoy the changing colours. Leaves are all pretty much off the trees now though.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
We had the best autumn colours here in SW Scotland in October than I can ever remember. Winds and rain have brought down most of the leaves byh now, though.
My Birthday was in October, normally there is lovelly autumn colour then. I was going to cancel winter Verdun, ut unfortunately, some plants need a cold snap!
Steve 309, thats depressing!!! We have had quite a bit of sun this month, blue sky asI speak! not quite 8 0 clock and 13 degrees outside, our strawberries in the greenhouse, have a second lot of fruit ripening now. To think the BBC said it was going to be a long hard winter. Perhaps it will start in December, and go on till next July!!!
Also sunny here quite a bit, and fine today after the storm. I'm sure (although I don't have the data to back up my hunch) that our seasons generally are less seasonal and there's more extreme weather.

aeonium zwartkop would be my guess.
I think Verd grows that - in fact, I'm sure he does. It's a beautifully architectural plant, but I'd need a conservatory for it

Mine are in the polytunnel, but I think it might not make it through the winter, so might have to come indoors.
A neighbour gave me one earlier this year and I've taken two cuttings from it, all growing very quickly now.

I rather think that was Hood's intention!
