    I'll vote tomorrow, I want to study them first. Is Richard putting up a prize for Old Stumpy? :) The competition is going to be tight.

    Those are some beautiful specimens. I love that veriagated jade. It has so much white! #7 too. Is that a hobbit? I forget what they are called. But I like the shape of the leaves. There are some unique ones on it.

    Goodness, I love them all. (favs 1, 3, 4, 6, 9)

    Is #4 is crassula lactea? I like their triangular leaf shape... has a hint of a curl.

    thank you everyone

    Josh the one on the left has two inch leaves and the one on the right has leaves over four inches. bought as a gift but I think I might keep it.

    Deva I'm not the best with names but I believe it is a hobbit.

    Nanzjade #4 was purchased as a ripple jade. I dont think it is lacteal as I have that also.

    Nice collection ... my favorites are #3 and #9
    I guess that #4 is the same cultivar as Christophers "Wave" (aka "Propeller Jade" or "Green Waves")

    Richard do you also have some new pictures of your "white tip"-jades?

    HI Ben

    yes #4 is crassula Obliua proppler jade.

    gave these away awhile ago to someone who managed to kill them within six months and have become much more careful who I send plants to.

    haven't seen any since

    I've looked and admired and looked again, and all are spectacular. My favourite is No. 10. If the white-tipped plant is included, then it's a tie between those two. You have some amazing light in your glasshouse, Richard. Thank you so much for posting your 'competition', it brightened the winter.

    My votes go to 3,6,9,11&12, but if forced to pick one then it would be 12. I'm being drawn to the variegated types as you can tell having only just added some to my collection?

    Your collection is lovely Richard, you have some really unusual plants there. No12 looks like the leaves have been dipped in paint....or white chocolate, they're yummy!

    Christopher, I think Richard's 'competition' is just for fun, with his own plants :)

    Richard, thanks for pic 11 and 12 ... but are these both current pics? At least pic 12 you have shown already two years ago ... http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/1824746/common-jade

    Does the plant from #12 still look like this?

    Thanks,

    Ben

    Ben both are older pictures of plants that I gave away to some one that over watered and killed both. haven't come across any since.

    Great idea! We need some fun :)

    All of them are really nice, hard to decide...I like 3, 7 & 9. And all the rest.

    Richard, ok i see ... i first thought you mean the propeller jade. It is a pitty that both of these interesting plants are lost.

    regards,

    Ben, sorry, but I think you guess wrong. I don't see the resemblance with my 'Waves' Mine has longer pointed leaves. I do not think they are the same.
