Graptopetalum bellum?

Post by Dalesmicro »

This plant wasn't identified. The large flowers (almost 5 cm in diameter) looked sedum-like but the leaves are more Echeveria-like; looking at pictures on the internet Graptopetalum bellum seems likely. Thanks again for your input!

Yes that is correct. It has also been called Tacitus bellus, so you may find information under that name too.

Ditto what Saxicola said! This is one of my favorites...that I've killed 3 times now. :(

Just had to tell you what great shots you've made & given us to help in identifying your plants. :) Wish everyone did the same!
