You have to cut and paste the "HTML" code, not the BBCode. It will look something like :

<a href="www.theaddressofyourpicture.com/yourpicture.jpg">Picture Name</a>

Also, if you don't see the picture in the "Preview" we won't see it on the forum.

Very pretty!! Isn't that called Variegated Jade? I might be thinking of Hummel Sunset Jade? I know that one is totally different. Either way it looks very healthy and the green is vibrant, and I really like the pink tips. Great job!!

RE: Sunset Jade

Thank you:)

I was told when I bought it that it is a sunset Jade and that the verigated part would turn bright pink when in sun. That is the reason I loved it so much they had one like it that was pink and oh my how pretty so I am excited my is just starting to turn:)It wount just be pink on the tips all the white will be pink:)

Variegated Jade certainly, perhaps with 'sunset' thrown into the description.
The 'Hummel's Sunset' Jade is typically what folks imagine when the term Sunset Jade
is used - thus the confusion. 'Hummel's Sunset' is quite an attractive plant;
it was also the variety of Jade that took me the longest to find.

Note also that this variegated Jade has a slightly different leaf-shape
and a more robust structure overall. If I recall correctly, the bark
on a mature plant will be different (lighter colored, flakier) than the
usual Jade bark.

Yep your right Josh..I looked it up and it is Crassula argentea 'Variegata'. Thank you . I love the pink color though and will be on the lookout for the sunset jade as it is really nice also..I am getting to really love jades!
