IDs, if you please

10 years ago

I think the blooming Echeveria is 'chrome,' but I'd like a second opinion (it's from a rescued leaf in a box store last year) hehehe...it makes my eyes so happy.


Meto the right might be Graptosedum 'Darley Sunshine,' but it seems too blue.


And those 7 plump little blue leaves are...probably a Pachyphytum of some kind? It grew from a rescued leaf, then almost succumbed to the microscopic mite attack last year. It's finally starting to get a few more leaves. Enough to ID it?


I know the second pic is some kind of stacked Crassula, but if I ever knew the name, I've forgotten it.


2nd stacked Crassula is probably C. rupestris?


And is that Graptosedum 'Darley Sunshine?' Again, seems too blue.



Thanks guys.

    The 3rd photo looks just like my C. rupestris.

    Here are the blooms from the blue Echeveria. I don't know what color to call them- red? -Orange? Pink? Not entirely any of those colors. They're beautiful, whatever color that is.

    To me, the Echeveria looks exactly like 'Perle von Nurnburg' but blue instead of pink, and quite a bit larger. It's not shiny, but powdery like Perle. There is no crease.

    E. PvN could get quite large (5", maybe more?); the blooms are coral pink color with yellow inside. Was it kept in low light? It usually gets pretty dark pink - purplish color in good light..

    Which blooms are you talking about, Rina, this one or a PvN? I have a PvN also, but it's just half the size of this blue guy, quite a different color, and over a year older. It seems very much the same shape and type. None of my succs have been kept in low light, really, but everything is relative. I'm Oregon, and there are trees, and it's an apartment balcony, so they don't have the colors they'd have in full sun.

    Maybe I misunderstood - I thought you are suggesting the plant in question may be PvN.

    Oh, sorry. I was just comparing it to a Perle to help ID it.

    I hope someone can ID the stacked Crassula and the Pachy(?) for me.

    How about Echeveria gibbiflora 'Metallica?'

  • 10 years ago

    Just a consideration, a very similar of Graptosedum 'Darley Sunshine' is 'Francesco Baldi'.

    Flowers on Echies aren't always helpful as most look like 'candy corn'. I agree with Rina that it isn't PvN. It looks like 'Princess Blue' or 'Blue Sky' or 'Dusty Rose' or ????, all of which have similar looking flowers. All of these have different names and yet, look similar.

    You grow such beautiful plants, Howard. -sigh-


    They're all stunning, and I can't tell them apart, so I'm happy calling mine by any of those names (it's just for my records anyway). Mine certainly does look similar, but grown in much less intense light.


    May I bother you for more help, Howard? In the bottom, left corner of your top photo, the edges of some spiky green rosettes are visible. Do you have the name of those? They look an awful lot like a little one I have that no one has been able to ID. I bought it a couple of years ago in a 1-inch pot (I'm not exaggerating) from a tiny display at a Walgreens, of all places.

    Here's mine

    It makes new pups on stolons.

    Here's a better photo of my blue Echeveria, and you can see another of the little mystery rosettes between it and a Graptopetalum 'Debi.' Mine don't have the lovely sun-kissed edges that yours do, but yours is the closest I've seen to it.
