Cart-jumpers are home

Got these today - probably just 'run-of-the-mill', easy to get anywhere plants...but they look healthy and are pretty large.
#1: This one is 7.75" across. Grayish-lavender color.

    #4: tiger's jaw - Faucaria tigrina - I think? Just small plant in 3.5" pot.

    Oooo, nice, Rina! They don't look run-of-the-mill to me, especially great, big ones! =) Second looks like it could be xGraptoveria 'Debbi'. Not sure on the others (just yet).

    Last may be Faucaria felina ssp. tuberculosa.

    #5: small plant in 3.5" pot; looks like Haworthia to me, the leaves have small teeth all the way down, they look very stiff.

    Yes, 5 is a Haworthia. Don't know which, though. :/

    6 is also called String of Pearls...& String of Beads, but is Senecio herreianus.

    Nice Aloe! Great group shot! TFS!

    Thank you for helping again.
    Remember, you encouraged me to go back?!
    (btw, you invented 'cart-jumping', didn't you?)

    chrisware:
    Aloe - tried to get ID for it in this post:
    re: Aloe

    LauraR:
    Same here - first time I was able to buy them so large (unless costing small fortune!)

    Richard:
    I think I lucked out...deserve it thou...I managed to lock my keyes in the car with the plants, had to wait for 2.5hrs to be 'rescued' ;-)
    After you posted photos of your green room with so many beautiful plants, I am hoping to have something similar in near future - and I am doing it backwards, starting with plants!

    kathi:
    I only find 3.5" pots (unless, as mentioned, they are too much $$$ for me) that are usually $4-8 around here -

    laura1:
    thank you; I really like their coloration

    Reggieee:
    I don't think so - unless I move to warmer zone.
    Just repotting into better soil mix & hope they look as good in fall.

    Those look beautiful. The E. 'Perle von Nurnberg' is so absolutely spotless! Rarely do I find anything that pristine.

    Great cart jumpers you have there, makes me afraid to go shopping...again, I always come home with cart jumpers. Sometimes I don't remember them jumping in!

    I posted that one in another post, here is the link - see here - was told by seller that it is E. metallica...but possibly PvN.

    That group shot is fabulous! I agree that they all look so healthy. You must have gotten to the store just at the perfect time.

    I was lucky to buy 6 large ones directly from a grower; 2 small pots were in Canadian Tire of all places.

    Rina,

    That top plant would of jumped into my cart if I was there first!

    It's beautiful. Now how in the world will you keep it looking that way? Do they naturally grow such a smooth rich color?

    Glad your cart was close enough for that plant to jump in without missing!

    That's what I keep asking myself! All of them...I have to get a greenhouse-what else to do???

    I ask seller same question, he said he grows them in gh. I want to visit, offered to work there for free for at least 3mo...

    You would be able to keep them that nice, I am sure. Your plants are always so good looking.

    Rina Thank you...

    By the way, even a person whom has never thought to grow succulents let alone like them would not have been able to resist those plants. They are perfect!

    Happy growing.
