Hi Phil,
In case you're interested, Gordon Rowley's latest name for this is C. exilis subsp. picturata, whereas for IHOSP its C. exilis subsp. cooperi.
Whichever, the consensus is that this isn't a distinct sp.
Crassula picturata.

Re: Crassula picturata.
The pimple has now resolved itself into two distinct leaves, 2-3 mm high, which have fine hairs on the edge. 
How sweet are they!

Re: Crassula picturata.
A flower!!!!
From pimple to flower in about 6 months, it's incredible. And I have echiverias and an aeonium for years that have not flowered.

Re: Crassula picturata.
This is what you have to look forward to Julie. You'll need your strongest glasses but they are quite sweet little flowers.

Member of Somerset branch. I have a diverse mixture of small cacti plus a few larger survivors from a previous collection. I also like Stapeliads, Titanopsis, Anacampseros, and various other succulents. Now proud owner of many self-raised seedlings.

Re: Crassula picturata.
Sweet, Phil. And I like the pink stalks too.
Anything flowering that's not an obesa is a treat for me.
And I must have good specs - I just sowed mamm. seeds in neat rows.
