Not planted by me, but grown on quite unintentionally. It was a "passenger" in the Opuntia humifusa pot when I purchased same, last year.
Has it grown from seed, or has a leaf-plantet dropped off another plant?

It wasn't there as far as I remember when it came from the nursery, unless it was lurking in the pebble dressing. I don't have many succulents, and certainly nothing like this tiny sweetie.

If you've not seen one before - plantlets grow on the edge of the leaves and drop off and a new plant grows. Fairly nice when small, but then they grow leggy when older.

Yes - thanks Chris - I was aware of this vegetative propagation method.
I was not aware of the stowaway on my departure from the nursery.
I am intrigued by its form and await its development - so if "plantlets" are up for disqualification - so be it - providing of course that this is a "plantlet" and not a seed germination, and I can provide the provenance for neither state.

I am going to pick Tina's Agave albopilosa as the winner. The plant looks so 3D that it could almost be picked out of the screen.

I did have a Bryophyllum daigremontianum that grew in a 2kg margarine tub in my bedroom when I was teenager. It got to over SIX feet tall before it flowered. Unfortunately I didn't take a photo of it. I have a mind to try and grow one of these and see how tall it gets and if I can get it to flower.
