    I purchased these succulents at a local nursery, but I'm not sure the identifaction provided on the pot is accurate because the photos I've found on the internet don't look exactly like what I purchased. Any help you all may be able to provide is greatly appreciated.

    The plant on the left was marked "Graptoveria Opalina" and the plant on the right was marked "Sedum Cauticola Vera Jameson." The supposed sedum looks almost exactly like an Anacampseros I have.

    Thanks in advance!

    It could be an x Graptoveria, but it looks to me like it has Pachyphytum in it. Flowers would help in its ID.

    I think your thread might be moved to the Cacti & Succulent forum. A member named Steve will probably help you sort this out, if not someone else. :)

    The other looks like x Graptosedum 'Bronze' to me. 'Vera Higgins' is one of the names that has been used in the past.

    Thanks Rosemarie! I looked up Graptosedum Bronze and the "sedum" definitely looks like the photos I found of Graptosedum Bronze. Although my plant seems to have a bit more pink. That could be because my plant had more/less sun exposure than the ones in the photo though.

    Do I need to move the thread, or will the moderators move it if they feel that I should have posted it elsewhere?
