A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 Hen and Chicks?

While selling cookies for Summer's troop I spotted several pots of this plant. I asked the lady about it and she very graciously gave me several pieces. She did not know what it was, but I think it is a type of hens and chicks. I have not seen one like it, but it definitely looks like it. What do y'all think??

It has a bloom forming also- that is the little "bunch on the plant. I did see that it also roots from leaves- do all hens and chicks do that?

Thanks all!!

What a pretty color Tonya!!!!
That would be my guess as to what it is.

That would be my guess, Tonya! Aunt Bonnie has some and that is what she calls it...

That stuff spreads like wildfire, too!

I am sure Margaret Pell or someone else will come along and give you the type that it is...

I did a GH search for sempervivum(Hens and Chicks) and found a post about a succulent wreath and that lead me to Google echeveria. My new plant is an Echeveria laui! Man, I LOVE this place!! Here is the link....
My Plant
Now if I can figure out the common name for it- I will be all set!

I think your plant looks like pearlescant Porcelein. It is so beautiful!! I would love to have a leaf of that, if you ever decide to give any away. Or a baby, once it has a lot!!!

Hi Tonya, My best guess would be Graptopetalum paraguayense ,
take a peek and see what you think. More here.

Zuzu- you have done it again!! How do you do it?? I thought I was pretty slick and had figured it out. Thanks!

That is beautiful Tonya! Love the coloring!

I'm glad you posted this Tonya I think I have the same thing But wasn't sure what is was ??

You're very welcome, Tonya.
I have one of these little guys.

Zu~zu's got a great eye!!!

She sure does Weezie!
