Echeveria Lola with a little flower bud forming. In less than a week with sunlight and grow lights, the color has become less green and more pastel. Echeveria Lola fresh from the store, still green. My first Echeveria, Elfstone. Echeveria Red Sky. Echeveria Raindrops is a colorful variety that develops bumps on the leaves that look like...raindrops. A couple of bumps are visible, but this is another plant that had a bad shipping experience and needs some time to recover. Sempervivum, unknown variety but probably an Arachnoideum. (#1 of six unknown varieties of Sempervivum in Jan. 29 shipment.)
A loose ball from my Jan. 29 Sempervivum shipment, unknown variety but probably an Arachnoideum. Not sure if the ball is alive, but it is being given every opportunity. The image is an example of focus bracketing, 20 stacked images. (#1 of six unknown varieties of Sempervivum.) Sempervivum, unknown variety. (#2 of six unknown varieties of Sempervivum in Jan. 29 shipment.) Sempervivum, unknown variety. A perfect green little rosette but no distinguishing features such as offsets. (#3 of six unknown varieties of Sempervivum in Jan. 29 shipment.) Sempervivum, unknown variety. (#3 of six unknown varieties of Sempervivum in Jan. 29 shipment.) Sempervivum, unknown variety, purple-tipped leaves. (#4 of six unknown varieties of Sempervivum in Jan. 29 shipment.) Sempervivum, unknown variety, purple leaves, small rosette growing out the side of the main one. (#5 of six unknown varieties of Sempervivum in Jan. 29 shipment.)
Sempervivum, unknown variety, two rosettes with purple-tipped leaves. (#6 of six unknown varieties of Sempervivum in Jan. 29 shipment.) Sempervivum Globiferum Budai Mountains. The Globiferum species offsets (chicks) are small globes that fall off the mother plant (hen) and roll away to root. One of the fallen offsets can be seen in the lower right corner, and there are five still attached to the hen. Sempervivum Globiferum Budai Mountains. Five offsets are still attached to the mother plant. Sempervivum Globiferum Budai Mountains, closeup of one of the offsets. Sempervivum Heuffelii Cherry Glow, damaged in transit with several lost and broken leaves but should recover. Sempervivum Heuffelii Coral Reef. Mostly green with red tips now, but the spring and summer sun should bring out more dramatic colors.
Sempervivum Heuffelii Orion. It should develop red and purple color with increased light, and silvery cilia on the leaves can give the plant a frosted appearance. The one I received is two rosettes back-to-back. Mammillaria Elegans Cactus. Mammillaria Powder Puff Cactus. Mammillaria rhodantha cactus, the Rainbow Pincushion. Jade (Crassula ovata). My little Jade (Crassula ovata) gets a big brother.
Related to Jade, a Crassula rupestris "String of Buttons." Sedeveria Blue Burrito. Graptosedum California Sunset is a hybrid of Graptopetalum and Sedum. Its pink coloration is most vibrant when under stress (bright sunlight, infrequent watering, cool temperatures). In spring it will have clusters of white, star-shaped blossoms. Haworthia fasciata Zebra Plant, which can thrive in relatively-low light. Hawortha attentuata Concolor. Haworthia limifolia Fairy Washboard.
Pachyphytum compactum Little Jewel. Pachyphytum oviferum Pink Moonstone. Graptopetalum paraguayense Ghost Plant will show a wide range of pastel tones as it matures. Graptoveria Lovely Rose sustained damage in shipment but probably will survive.
