I am trying to get all my plants identified and labeled, one or two have been acquired and lost their ID, or never had one. Any help appreciated.
First one a sedum, bought a few years ago and label lost. Slow growing, white flowers I think, and not very hardy.
And an Echeveria, bought at a garden centre, labeled as "variety"
Please can I have an ID for these two? Thanks in anticipation Solved

I'd go for a form (or hybrid?) of Echeveria colorata for the second.

If the Sedum is in a small pot and the leaves are under a centimetre long, then I'd go for S. griseum

Wow I love that Echeveria!
You can take the boy out of the greenhouse, but you can't take the greenhouse out of the boy!

Ralph, thanks I think you are right with E. colorata or form of.
MikeT, the sedum is in a small pot (6 cm) and the leaves are 6mm long. I have googled images of S griseum but the leaves look longer in relation to their thickness, my plant's leaves seem a bit more 'dumpy' for the sake of a better phrase. Thanks for the suggestion, any other possibilities?

A Google search for images of "White leaved Sedum" suggest the first is Sedum farinosum:

I doubt if the second is the large Echeveria colorata and there appears to be a number of mis-identified photos on the web with that name. You plant appears smaller.
Best wishes,
Derek Tribble

I think the echeveria is echeveria chihuahuaensis

Yes, having reconsidered the size, I think E. chihuahuaensis is a better bet. Oops.
