Can you help identifying these succulents?

14 years ago

I received 8 different kinds of plants from a wonderful lady, who didn't know what they were--she just loves growing them!

I like to know what I'm growing, so can anyone here identify what's in the following pictures? There are 3 kinds in the first 2 pics, 2 in the last pic.

Also, can I grow all of these in any combination in containers, or will some require special conditions?

Thanks so much in helping me identify these babies!

Why not Norma? Come on now, are you being timid???

OK, I'll start, these are GUESSES.

Pic 1: bottom 2 plants are different Sedums, top plant (the green & white variegate) could be 2 or 3 diff. things, need a diff. pic, which shows the growth habit to tell.

Pic 2: can't tell except MAYBE lower right plant is a Crassula tetragona?

Pic 3: MAYBE a Vinca on the left & a Ruscia crassifolia on the right? (McHarris, isn't that your original succulent love?)

So I got the ball rolling, who's next?

I love it! Just a thought, does the clay pots still retain the "breathability" of the terra cotta material? I mean the perks of growing in clay pots is because these "pores" within the pot breathe air to the roots, painting over them kind of beats that advantage away. I saw something similar to yours on west elm and they are not painted, but it definitely does not have the minimalistic appeal as yours do.

1. Kalanchoe humilis:) 2. Cotyledon orbiculata flanaganii. Would you say the flowers are more red or orange? I can't tell:).

I do not think they are all the same: small pot in the center looks different, and the big one on right with what looks like an inflorescence I am not sure...others may to be slightly light deprived xG. 'Fred Ives'.

I'll take a shot at a few that look familiar to me... photos are small, so I can't say for sure. First photo, left, "Lavender Scallops" or Kalanchoe fedschenkoi; right, Sedum burrito. Second photo, low right, maybe x Sedeveria 'Harry Butterfield' (Giant Burro's Tail) - but need more light to be more compact. Photo three, right, some kind of Huernia.

Hope these give you some direction to go in...

Norma,

Let's hope you do.

Momma S,

For more accurate IDs it would help to separate the plants and reshoot the pics.

I agree with the C. tetragona and K. fedschenkoi ID's, and the plant on the left in the second picture I'm pretty sure is Oscularia deltoides. I have it, and in May it gets covered with masses of beautiful small lavender mesemb-type flowers.

The plant at the upper left in the third picture has a flower that reminds me of Aptenia cordifolia, known as one of the "ice plants" here in So. Cal., but I can't make it out too clearly. Are the leaves succulent, and do those leaves at the lower left belong to the same plant? They look so different from the others.

Norma,

No pouting - after all, most of us don't feel that way.

Momma S,

Here are some IDs from a most eminent lurker:

1st pic: starting from left, Sedum spurium, Sedum spurium 'Tricolor', Sedum burrito

2nd pic: from left, Oscularia deltoides, Sedum rupestre (maybe), Crassula tetragona

3rd pic: Aptenia cordifolia 'Variegata', could be Orbea variegata

Thank you so, so much for taking the time to squint your eyes at my pics, everyone. Without all of your responses combined, I never would have figured out what I have!

Based on plant names provided, here are the plants I was able to confirm:

photo 1) top: I feel the verdict is still out on whether the top and left plants are Sedum spurium or Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi. Here are better pics of these two. The bottom looks like Sedum burrito. I'm a little bummed about this since I've grown these before--thought I had something new!

photo 2) left: Oscularia deltoides, sedum reflexum bottom right: crassula tetragona

photo 3) left: Aptenia cordifolia variegata right: Orbea variegata

I cleaned up and planted as much as I could today. My presentations, placements and all certainly aren't show quality, but I only had an hour in the hot sun to work.

Here is the album if you want to see more pics...
