The mythical Medusa in the old stories was an unpleasant girl, you couldn't look at her face and hairdo of writhing, venonous snakes without being turned to stone. Well, while this plant does sort of look like a hairdo of writhing snakes, it does want you to look. Medusa's spiny, snakey leaves reach out from the round center too, starting out as nubby, fat, succulent, pointy diamonds, stretching out and reaching out for you with finger-thick, bright emerald green, a few inches long and studded with bumps. It doesn't need to but it does bloom; small, flat, yellow/green daisies, very cute and very sweetly scented. Quite slow and steady growing, just imagine this in its ultimate size, a 3' behemoth! Keep it on counter or desk or shelf, just so you can look at it.
