    Hello all, this is my first post on this site.

    So, I bought a beautiful plant a few months ago and the man selling it to me did not know exactly what it was. He suggested that it may be a succulent or seedum, but I truly have no idea & am no expert at this sort of thing.

    Ive posted three pictures below of my plant:
    1. The plant has multiple stalks upon which flowers have been growing in abundance.

    2. The leaves curl upwards in most cases, but are thick and fuzzy, and have a interesting wild looking pattern to them.

    3. The flowers are orange with tips of gold, and they are shaped sort-of like miniature tulips with five individual leaves sticking out at each base.

    If anyone knows the name of this plant or anything about it, I would be greatly interested in hearing about it.
    Thanks, and all the best,
    John.

    Echeveria, maybe.

    Yes, it looks like Echeveria setosa – Mexican Firecracker, in need of more sunlight.
