Unknown Succulent. ID Please

10 years ago

A friend gave me several pieces of this succulent. He has it growing as ground cover. He says it bears beautiful flowers. Sorry for the blurry image.

Can you ID it so I can see the flowers and how to care for it?

Thanks!

Ahhhh! Thank you! I am excited about this one. Thanks for the link. I am going to look into the companion plants recommended on the link. I love that it's fire resistant. We own a lot of wilderness property, and fear fire. We'll be spreading this one all over the place!

Yes, #2 and #3 are Mammillarias, I'm not positive which. #4 is Echinocactus grusonii, very much a baby still. #5, Pachypodium? Someone will know this for sure. #6 is a Stenocactus, very hard to tell the different species apart. #7 is Frithia pulchra. #8 is Mammillaria carmenae.

I really appreciate the replies! I agree that it looks like Graptopetalum paraguayense, I am perplexed about one thing though. When I looked that name up, all the pictures I found have a slightly pinkish tone to them while mine is most definitely blue.

I'm guessing, maybe Kalanchoe flapjacks

They are both echeverias, but it is hard to say exactly which ones right now. Many echeverias have a similar leaf shape and are hard to differentiate without seeing flowers or the way they color up in full sun. Sorry I can't be more help.
