Here is one of favorites

Here 's a Pachyphtum compactum crest

and a Echeveria 'Eyeful'

greets

Harry

This is my only one, exact ID is to be confirmed, but maybe an Echeveria shaviana curly

Those are lovely!

Those are so cool!

This is always on of those "oh yeah I love crested" and then I realize I don't have so many.

I only have one. I'm quite pleased that I havent killed it yet :) since its been in the Walmart pot with no drainage for at least 2 years ... Really needs a repot. The widening crest is now pushing on the rim of the pot, there.

I have the tiniest sprout of a Fred Ives that if I hold just right, might be cresting. I'll post back in a month or two. :)

Love that agavoides. Reminds of those green stress relief balls: Picture here

How funny they do look like alike :)

My favorite is Euphorbia lactea;

Can you share the details on the show in Chicago? I'm in Iowa City and I would love to go!

Totally wishful thinking at this point, but wishfully thinking this might be a baby Crested Fred Ives.

Keep us up-to-date please. Looks quite good!

(I had one hoping for a crest but it turned up only 2 branches, no crest.)

If anyone else is looking for information on the show in Chicago I found this website...

My boyfriend says we can go and I can get 3 plants - 2 if they're big ones. :-D

Cresting is a mutation, happens on other plants than succulents just more common.
