Candy cane looks like Sedum linearis

Tiffany, I wonder if the crassula is 'Campfire'. Excellent choices that followed you home.

Russ

Definitely similar, Larry! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bc/Sedum_lineare_'Variegatum'_Shoots_2790px.jpg

Russ, TY! It was labeled 'Candy Cane,' or do you mean the mystery unlabeled one?

I was most excited to find my 20th Kalanchoe to collect! LOL!

That Kalanchoe looks more like K. bracteata or K. hildebrandtii . Orygalis is copper- coloured.

TY for the suggestion, Breton! If it doesn't turn copper out in the sun, you may be onto something with the hildebrandtii. That's part of cactuscollection.com lineup. (Bracteata is not.)

Russ, I'm intrigued by your suggestion of 'Campfire.' I've found pics of etiolated ones that look so similar. Do folks think that a plant so stretched could still be able to make buds? I never see buds forming on winter-stretched plants, only when they're outside in the sun, BUT haven't kept any inside for summer as a control.

I meant the unlabeled, green, etiolated one Tiffany. I have one labeled Campfire that looks just like yours. I assumed it would color up with good sunlight when I bought it. Yes, etiolated plants are just trying to survive, don't have time or energy for blooming.

Russ

In lower light it can green up a bit Breton, I've got one that does that, not sure if I've got current pix. Love its suede-like texture.

Nice new plants, enjoy!

I've been told by our resident Kalanchoe expert (yes, Jeff) that the true K. Hildebrandtii is rare in cultivation, and bracteata is much more common. Only blooms will distinguish the two. I bought mine labelled as hildebrandtii, but have doubts. Of course it has not bloomed yet. My K . orygalis is much darker in colour overall.

Russ, that's what I've observed too, badly etiolated plants don't usually bloom. The reason I asked about the buds is because the mystery plant has formed some. I forgot this post didn't have this pic. When did you get 'Campfire?'

Breton, TY for your efforts!! That one was labeled K. orgyalis but I'm always suspicious of labels too.

Hey Breton,

Well my K. orgyalis is actually FROM Jeff, so what else can I say? I'll try to get some pix, maybe this wknd.

Mystery Crassula is turning reddish in the sun.

The Kalanchoe is growing, and still about as white as it can be. A few rain drops. I hope more than that come today!

So maybe Campfire, but it sure looks strung out for that one. Could it be that etiolated, or wonder if it's something else and the distance between leaves is normal.

Russ

Some of the lower, older leaves look a bit stressed by exposure. I was expecting that. Also, as expected, the increase in light and sideways orientation of the stem have caused new growth to start at many nodes. We will see what the normal leaf spacing is soon.

The blooms are definitely white.

It's coming along Tiffany, looking forward to seeing the flowers.

Russ

Tiffany

Wondering about your kalanchoe - looking at your last photo of it, it doesn't look like Copper spoons; here is my plant, it's older leaves are much lighter in color (not as green-blue as your plant) but since it is in full sun outdoors, it got bronze as it should be:

Me too, Russ!

Rina, no, it's getting lighter if anything. Not much change since the last pic of that. Yours is lovely!!!

Thank you Tiffany; I obviously like yours since it is different. Being sold as K. h . 'Silver Teaspoons' @ Glasshouse Works.

New pic from today.

And I forgot to ask you, Rina, what's the "h" for in that name, K. h . 'Silver Teaspoons'?

Tiffany, I was curious too and looked it up, it's K. hildebrandtii.

Russ

Hey, that looks like it. This is somewhere near the 10th plant I've purchased with a wrong cactuscollection.com label (found at a BBS.) I'd so much rather have NO label than a wrong one. TY so much, Rina & Russ for helping me realize this one might be wrong too.

Tiffany, it was Rina's info, all I did was send it but I'm glad to help. Thanks for CC's website, I didn't know they provided all that stock in so many sizes and containers. Wow, they're the Exotic Angel Plants of cacti and succulents.

I have some cacti and succulents but I wish I could grow a lot more, they're so darned interesting. But I'm already overwhelmed with my huge collections of aroids and sansevierias, along with smaller collections of hoyas, crotons and other stuff.

Russ

I've never ordered anything via internet/mail, just picked up plants I thought looked cute at stores. I'd be nervous about getting the plant that matches the name, if I was going to internet shop with them though. Didn't realize it would automatically turn into a link when I typed that, an interesting feature here, glad you enjoyed it. (Thanks, Houzz!)

I know your comparison to EA was in regard to selection, with which I agree, and wanted to add - pls don't anyone insult EA by making a labeling accuracy comparison. Aside from rare incidents that are probably attributable to other shoppers putting tags back into the wrong pots, EA doesn't label plants incorrectly. They don't always have a label, but when they do, it's usually correct. I've been buying EA plants for several decades, hundreds of them, and only 1 plant had a truly wrong label. But in the past 3 yrs, I've brought about 10 wrongly labeled plants home that came from Altman (out of maybe 40-45 purchased with their label.) That's up to 25% wrong, which is disgraceful. Give up labeling if it can't be done more accurately than that, just say "succulent" or something equally vague but at least accurate.

Such pretties Tiffany! I just found a wee staghorn fern for $5 that obviously HAD to come home with me. ;)

Nifty new guy! TY for sharing it! Good price too!

Yes Tiffany, I was referring to Altman's massive number of different kinds and sizes of cacti and succulents they offer, just like Exotic Angel's huge offerings of tropicals. Many, many years ago I ordered plants from Altman, still have an Aloe Midnight from that order and probably a few others.
