They were all so purdy that I couldn't help myself. Surprisingly affordable too, even the bigger ones, which is always nice.

What's that crazy one with the stems on the bottom right?

[–] Plum 3 points 2 months ago

Aeonium aureum. I saw it listed as Greenovia dodrentalis on instagram today and thought it was AI before doing a deep dive into aeonium spp.

It was sold as Aeonium dordantale, but it might be aureum too, as Plum mentions!

I like that crazy mad scientist one in the back middle

It's a tephrocactus - most of them look pretty crazy and I love them for it :)

Tephrocacti (sp?) are my favorite! I’ve got a toenail cactus and it freaked out my girlfriend for a little while… but it’s a cool-looking one!

I’ve still got a tephrocactus geometricus on my list though… but they’re expensive!
