3x"Crassula Tetragona"-looking (sedum, senecio, crassula?)

Post by mathematical.coffee »

I have 3 plants, and upon buying each one I was told it was crassula tetragona.
Now it's pretty clear to me that these 3 plants can't *all* be crassula tetragona!

Does anyone have any idea what they are?

For reference, the pot of plant #1 is only about 2" in diameter.

#1. I suspect crassula tetragona, it's just a rooted cutting at this point:

#2: sedum perhaps? I have not seen it flower. The seller told me it has yellow flowers (but they also told me it was C. tetragona, so...). pot somewhere between 2" and 3"

#3: blueish colour, powdery. Looks like senecio "blue chalk" but is much smaller. Also, I don't know if this is unique to this particular plant, but the leaves grow in pairs and the new leaves grow fused together and then split (you can see it in the image below, click for a larger version):

Any ideas on these? (particularly #2 and #3). For a brief moment I thought crassula lycopodioides for #2, but the leaves are not packed like that.

The second one might be Sedum burrito. I'm no expert at serum.
Latin is a dead language thank goodness.

I don't think the 2nd one is donkey's tail. It could be sedum but I want to say it's more like a crassula because of how the leaves grow..
Despite the strange growth, the 3rd one should be Senecio mandraliscae 'Blue Chalk Stick'. It is slightly etiolated though.
