Hmmm, looks like it might be an Echevaria.
I'm not very good at IDs, though, so hopefully this will get the ball rolling.

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:562180}}

p.s.
those are plastic plants....
just to get the search underway.
(I assure you, I'm not promoting artificial flowers)

Looks more like a Sempervivum to me...which is hardy outdoors in your zone.

Could it be graptopetalum?

Good terms to begin a search.

Tho' the pic is blurry, something in the plant's posture & leaf tips makes me think it's a Sempervivum.

Neither Ech, nor Semps. are cacti, rather they are succulents. VERY broadly speaking their care is strong sun and fast draining mix.

It looks a good bit like this one (just not as many "leaves").

It doesn't look as much like this one (yet??), but the tips of the leaves do get kind of purplish.

Hi Steve,

Perhaps a clearer picture would help, as would a few weeks of growth. It looks to be in the Crassulaceae, but whether it's Old World or New World, aye, there's the rub.

cactusmcharris: I'm workin on the better pictures...just gotta get the wife to take them...lol.

It deffinitely looks like it's part of that family. Looks almost exactly like this:

Here ya go...professional pic of it...lol...only took me 3 days of asking to get the wife to do them. She forgot some plants & didn't take any close-ups of things I wanted. Oh well. =)

I stand by my opinion that this is a Semp.

pirate_girl: Arrrrrrrrrrr! ;-) lol

Definitely a plant for outdoors, year round.

Cool...i'll keep it on the deck.

This may show my lack of knowledge, but to me it looks like a hen and chick and I grew those outdoors in zone 5 year round.

DP,

Pirate Girl stands and delivers - it looks like a Semp. 'Hen and Chicks' can refer to (1) a Sempervivum or (2) plants that grow in the H&C manner, e.g. Echeveria, Sempervivum, Graptopetalum, et.al. It's better to call it by its proper name, thereby avoiding obfuscation (most of the time).

Steve,

It's a succulent plant, but it's not a cactus. Almost all cacti are succulent plants, but most succulent plants are not cacti.

DP,

McHarris beat me to the punch on that explanation. Also regional variances are such that one name refers to multiple plants depending on where in the country one is. Example, here in my neck of the woods, Ice Plant can refer to 2 or 3 different plants; same w/ Ghost plant (can be a Grapto paraguayense OR Gasteria, OR a 3rd whose name escapes me at the moment).

Also, before I bow & take the credit (thx anyway McH), allow me to point out that Milwaukee Dave was first to suggest Semp.

As to outdoors hardiness, I don't know abt zones; but w/out having studied Latin, I CAN say that Sempervivum translates to always living (I speak Portuguese: Sempre = always, Vivo = living/alive).

Also, I've tried to grow some of this indoors a couple of times; no good, it wanted to be outside, seems to want either evening chill or a marked variance in day/night temps or both.

Steve,

They're good to at least -30C and probably a lot colder, provided that they're covered with snow (NB-that's a guess).

Here's what yours will eventually look like - these are different species (I think) but you'll see why the H&C moniker is used.

Wow...those look cool. =) Thanks for all the information, y'all.
