Trolling for a name...

12 years ago

Grew this from a leaf somebody gave me. Now five years old, it has never bloomed, but has formed a low-growing colony of very dark handsome leaved plants that in my mind resemble pachyphytums. Its most distinguishing characteristic is the intricate patterns of the "bloom" (white powdery substance) on the leaves that appear to be etched. Ideas?

Don't know, but that "bloom" is very distinctive!

I have one with similar 'markings' on the leaves, but it is green - ID-ed as Pachyveria 'Little jewel'

Either that or a hybrid... Like with a sedum.

I would say that you plant is the same one as Rina's. Yours just has a suntan. I have the same plant.

Laura and Rina,
Has your P. "Little Jewel' bloomed?
And does your plant throw off lots of offsets? Mine is very low growing and seems to form colonies. The "mother" plants are rather Medusa-like in that each individual plant is comprised of several "heads." My plants aren't leggy like a typical echeveria.
What are your thoughts of Pachphytum compactum for an id?

Another vote for xPachyveria 'Little Jewel'. I think mine has bloomed, but I'd be hard pressed to find a pic of it at the moment (I'm overrun with a gazillion pix I'm processing).

Off to make my "Little Jewel" tag. Thanks everyone for your help.
