I read this year they could flower in ideal conditions. How big is that flower? Beautiful, thanks. Also was it a fairly old plant ?

The jade is 11 years old and bloomed for the first time last November. Here's the photo I posted in Photography when the plant was blooming last Thanksgiving. I had to do some heavy pruning in the spring which greatly reduced this year's bloom. There were only a few clusters of blossoms this month.

The flower is about 1/4" in diameter.

The star-like white blossom tinged with purple against the dark background ….. just lovely.
