| So just how good are you at identifying some Echeveria? I know sometimes flowers are helpful but I've only had one of these in flower. Some or all may be hybrids and I'll never have an ID, but thanks for looking and trying your best to help out.
Also not seen a flower but I wonder if it is Echeveria minima. The heads are rather small with very thick chunky leaves.
Lastly, this has typical Echeveria bell shaped flowers that are yellow.

| Not at all, Howard, I'm pulling a Sargent Shultz, but they're sure nice Echies in their own right and anyone would be happy to have them in their collection - I know I would. |

| I don't know either. I have a Ech that looks like your supposed E runyonnii that I was thinking the same thing. I guess I could plant it in the ground and see if it makes it through the winter. That would be one test of Identity. There are several E runyonnii (sp?) |

| Mara, not sure how growing it outside for the winter would ID the plant???? While your winters are significantly more mild than mine, I know this is not a winter hardy plant... maybe into the upper 30's, if kept very dry. |

| The fourth photo down looks like E. Perle von Nurnberg to me. *CG* |

| No, Jessica. Pictures 4 and 5 are the same plant and the leaves are not thick enough for PvN nor are they the right color... they would need more purple/mauve. |

| The 1st & 2nd, I believe are Echeveria elegans (E. albicans included with this species name now). The 3rd, I believe could be xGraptoveria 'A Grim One'. 4th & 5th, if more white/grey, might be Echeveria runyonii, but I don't think this species is found much in cultivation. Looks somewhat like Echeveria 'Lucita', but still, not white enough & looks a bit larger than 'Lucita'. 6th, seems like xGraptoveria 'Tibutans'. |
