Hold on to your hats. This is the big surprise! This plant is also H. micrantha, and a cutting from the one above. I took a cutting that had two different kinds of leaves and rooted it to see what would happen. This is what happened! Within a year, this cutting had reverted to a plant with elongated, very thick, grayish green leaves. I've had it for about 12 years now and it has never grown any more of the (what I call) typical micrantha leaves. It has remained with the very thick succulent leaves, but has the exact same flower. Go Figure!
