    I believe it is Echeveria 'Decorum', which looks to be making an inflorescence. You should soon have flowers! Mine is blooming now. :)

    Thanks Rosemarie, yes it is definitely making an inflorescence, but why can't I find any info online whatsoever? Only Aeonium Decorum comes up when Googled. Do you have a photo of yours? I'd love to see it!

    I'm sorry. My brain mixed up names! It's actually Echeveria 'Decora'. It used to be confused with Echeveria zahnii/ hoveyi (probably still is). I do have pix of mine, but will have to wait till tomorrow to post them.

    Here's one photo of one online:

    Great! Thanks again. I saw it at a garden center mixed in with some cacti, was looking pretty sad, and bought it for $2. It is growing very fast and does seem a little streched out to me but otherwise looks much healthier now!
