When i originally got this it was small and looked like many other succulents, but over the summer it started sending out a shoot that grew and grew then started turing pink then began openning up!

Echeveria elegans, I think. Give it next season a bowl; then there will be room for some pups. You can also use the leaves of the floweringstem to make young plants. Harry

i think harry means the leaves on the stem, between the plant and the flower head.

You're doing better with English than we would with Dutch. We'd be talking Double-English to you... Those blob leaves root very well on echeverias - and the leaf leaves (if you see what I mean) can root too. I've got some mini-echeverias and a loose leaf of one of them started putting out little roots. PS - I want one of those....

That is a healthy looking Echeveria, I bet you wondered when it was going to stop

These are just about the easiest plants to propagate just follow what harry said and you will do fine. And if you do put it in a bigger container for next year you will certainly get pups of offsets!

You are astonished Harry so am I, I thought I had forgotten all I ever knew

But I can't say all that in Dutch!! This is my limit now
Niet meer dan dat Harry en ik kan tot bier en kaas opdracht geven, die wordt gebruikt om dicht bij grens in Duitsland te leven
