Succulent ID expert needed!

6 years ago

I run a website about growing succulents and I'd like to help my readers identify their succulents. Here are a few samples of images people have sent me:

While I know quite a few and have been able to research and find some online, I'm still not as confident or knowledgeable as I'd like to be.

Is there someone here that would be interested in helping me ID succulents on a regular basis? I'm happy to pay you for your help.

Perhaps you might share what YOUR qualifications &/or experience are in doing this.

I'll be the 3rd person to say maybe you could participate here, but please:

don't come here & try to poach our membership.

While you may be well-intended, it seems neither nice nor ethical, just 'cause you're offering money for it (tempting as it sounds to some who could use the $).

Maybe you can be an active member here; post pictures; help others and ask for an id now and than/then. There is a lot of knowledge around here and everbody wants to help other members.

1. Haworthia 'Manda's Hybrid' (Maybe)

2. Sedeveria letizia (Etiolated/Maybe)

3. Kalanchoe rosei

I'm sure the members here will happily ID your plants whenever, and you can even redirect your readers to the forum.

hope4greenthumb, I want to say that it is some type of aeonium and that these tend to lose their leaves depending on the exact species, but please don't take my word for it, as I am honestly not sure beyond that. I could be totally wrong and I hope someone else is better able to help you identify these plants (and is able to let you know if their leaf loss is normal or not). Elizabeth

The Aloe is likely a hybrid. The Euph. looks to possibly be a monstrose form of some sp.. 6. I think is a Gymnocalycium sp. 7. Looks like an Aeonium in form. Some sedums have this form, but are usually not this large. 8. You may be able to I.D. this Mammillaria at the CactiGuide site. Look for Mamms that bifurcate vs. ones that stay single. It looks like a common one so you should be able to find it. Sorry I don't have any complete I.D.'s but maybe the leads will help.

Lovely pix thanks, but it won't allow me to see the website w/out signing up, so I won't thanks anyway Ash.

Looking at the person's Profile it seems they're a photographer.

Karen, I'm not a member, just hunted it out due to curiosity.

I love hunting around this forum and other sites to make my own notebook of my plants!

She is a photographer but she also writes ebooks about succulents that she sells through her website. I found some useful information and it's a lovely sight. After signing up I received an email where she chose to talk about religion. It left a bitter taste in my mouth and I unsubscribed immediately!

Wow Rachel, that's a dramatic turn, thanks MUCH for the heads up. I myself would not have been a happy camper about that either. I hope you made clear why you unsubscribed. Talk about bait & switch!

Thank you all for your feedback and comments. As mentioned by Ash, I run the website Succulents and Sunshine (www.succulentsandsunshine.com).

I frequently recommend people visit the forum to get IDs for succulents, but wanted a go to person that would be willing to help on a more regular basis.

I've followed the forum for quite a while and have loved it! Definitely a lot of great people and resources here. I wish I had more time to spend here, but running a business and taking care of a 3 yr old and 1 yr old keeps me a bit busy :)

Rachel and Karen -- I am sorry you were bothered by the email about religion. I believe it was around Easter? I rarely share anything of the sort and just stick to succulents. I never intended to be preachy or to bother anyone by it, but I definitely appreciate your feedback!

I will definitely be popping in from time to time and helping out where I can, plus continuing to send people here for more info.
