Thanks! And I couldn't believe he was only $2.50. This is a 4-inch pot.

And that's some lovely close-upping, too, with your imager. I think it's a form of C. o,, but it does look awfully Cotyledonish, doesn't it?

Jeff, all the Crassula ovata I have come across shave on a daily basis, unlike me. Not C. o.

Maybe Cotyledon orbiculata?

Hirsute is as her suit does.

I believe this is a Crassula, I have one very similar at the moment ( though mien has longer leaves), but am completely blanking on the name... will check it tonight! It is easier to bloom than C. ovata, in my experience.

I would say Crassula rubricaulis, but I've spent a little while looking at photos of them and haven't seen the 'fuzz' that yours has. I've got a few C.o.'s and none of them have fuzz, either. Crassula Argentea, maybe? I'm pretty stumped on this one.

I stick by Cotyledon. By the way, Alex, Crassula argentea is a synonym for C. ovata.

My apologies. That's probably why I couldn't find too many pictures under that name, ha!

No need to apologize, Alex! Names can be tricky. Frankly, I'm happy to be in the same ball park with others on here by thinking Crassula or Cotyledon. I'm betting this is a case when flowers will help with identity.

I know that the tags on plants are often wrong, but if it helps the tag on this plant says "succulent."

LOL Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Crenda, very full and pretty. What are your plans for it?

Thanks, Nanzjade! My usual plan is to repot and put it on my lanai. I can watch to see how it grows, what particular needs the plant may have, and research the plant if I can.

I'll try to post a picture in his new digs. Today we spent 6 hours power washing the south side of the house. Hubby did the washing while I was scurrying around moving plants to a protected spot!

Pretty! But I hope it didn't come with neonicotinoids. At my HD I talked to the nursery manager and he said he had no idea about the bee killing pesticide even though the little white tags proudly proclaimed the succulents had all been treated with it. I told him I could no longer buy succulents there. My fav local nursery is proud to say they won't sell anything with neonicotinoids. Min

I am a bee lover and apparently they love us, too! I've called my beekeeper to remove 6 hives from our home in the past 10 years. These have all been docile Caucasian honey bees. We're actually on a flight path. A new swarm will stop to rest and end up setting up house here. I fired my pest control people after they "sprayed a new hive for me."

This plant was sold at HD, but is from from Riverview Flower Farm. They have won several Environmental Leadership awards from Florida Ag. They do not use chemical pest control.

Crenda, I'm very happy to hear that your plant is from Riverview Flower Farm. I hope a lot of people see your post and buy from them.
Also, if people read your post and start looking on HD tags or asking about pesticides, that will help bees and the earth too!
i fired my pest control guy about 30 years ago! Makes me sick to see them still around town in trucks with tanks full of poisons in the back. Min
