A favourite of mine, if a little straggly but has relatively large flowers for the genus
G macdougalii flower
Graptopetalum suaveolens, surely the most beautiful of the genus, unfortunately no flowers this year.

Thank-you for these, Liz. I may have one or two of these and have had them labeled as unknown sedum. If and when I get flowers, I may be able to id them.Liz M wrote:I had a look through my plants and found these.

Glad to hear that Ivan, the flowers of Graptopetalum are very distinctive as you can see from the Graptopetalum macdougalii, so I hope you have success. Graptopetalums are hybridised with a number of other Crassulaceae, so you could have difficulties.
Here is the last one I have Graptopetalum pendantrum it is coming into flower and they should be the same as the flowers in Richaud's pictures.
