Dolphin Plant

          Dolphin Plant, or String of Dolphins (Senecio sp.), in the family Asteraceae.  is a rare variety of trailing succulent that looks like a pod of leaping dolphins. The plant is a hybrid between Senecio rowleyanus and Senecio articulatus.Reaching a height of 15 cm (6 inches) tall, the plant's curvy leaves develop two small points which make it look like a pod of coltish dolphins. It blooms from May to June. The flowers are mincing and white in colour, forming clenched puffballs. Each bloom has a halo of blood red to golden yellow filaments.
