'Tricolor' is the obliqua form, so the leaves are different than seen here. 'Tricolor' has a stiffer, thicker, more pointed leaf, often with an upcurl toward the tip. 'Tricolor' will sometimes have ridges or ribbing in the leaf, too.

The Jade shown looks to be an ovata variegate.

Very nice color.

Josh

Thanks Josh,

then this one is a Tricolor, right?

Certainly looks like it :-)

Josh

I have the same jade I have always seen it as ovata variegate tricolour. My other Crassula ovata variegate is yellow and green with no pink.

I will post pics when I can :-)

Your Jade is Crassula Ovata var. Ovata cv. "Hummel's Sunset" f. variegata. Sometimes this cultivar is called "Hummel's Ghost" on sale. Pink anthocyanins are readily formed in the leaves in uncomfortable conditions. More info http://forum-flower.ru/showthread.php?p=433715&postcount=4

Oksana, which plant above do you say is alternatively named Crassula 'Hummel's Ghost' ? In both, the leaves are shorter and in the first pic more rounded than the cultivar I bought recently as Crassula 'Hummel's Ghost'.

Crassula Ovata var. Ovata cv. "Hummel's Sunset" f. variegata is "Hummel's Ghost" on sale.
The shape and size of the leaves is dependent on growth conditions. Your "Hummel's Ghost" is "Hummel's Sunset" f. variegata too.

Oksana, your English is excellent, congratulations.

I know this was talked about on another thread very recently. I can have no opinion as I have only just bought 'Hummel's Ghost', and have not seen one labelled as Hummel's Sunset variegated in actuality, just here in pictures on the forum.

I am new to cacti collections and I would like to make an outdoor cacti garden in our school. Please suggest good varieties to be placed there. Thanks.

Ovata cv. "Hummel's Sunset" f. variegata is similar to Ovata f. variegata. But the latter does not form so much anthocyanins as the first. And the Ovata f. variegata leaves contain more carotenoids.

best regards,
Oksana.

Thanks, Oksana. Remind me what the 'f' in the name stands for again, please?

f. is form (abbreviated)

Thanks everyone for the input.

Now I have another pic.
Is this just ordinary C. ovata or some variety?

Thanks again, Oksana.

MsGreen:

I think you have the common Crassula ovata there.

Christopher

Yes, from what I can see, I'd say it's the standard Crassula ovata....however, that said, I do see a tiny bit of pale color on a few of the leaf margins, so I suppose there's always the chance that it's a different variety. Have to wait to see if anything develops with increased lighting.

may be, is it Hammel's Sunset?
