    Sanseveria? Or sempervivum perhaps? I always get the two mixed up.

    Or, of course, I could be totally wrong and it's a sedum...

    graptopetalum. or graptoveria. could also be a cross between graptopetalum and and a semp or a number of others...SO easy to be confused with these because of cross-breeding being able to be done (planned and usually unplanned).

    definitely not sanseveria or sedum.

    on second look, it looks very, very similar to my graptopetalum 'superbum'. the leaves are not quite it though...so it could be another varient.

    mine is deformed now due to not having proper sunlight...i need to cut it back and repot and put it in a sunnier spot.

    so, keep to that looking like it does now keep it in a VERY sunny spot - at least a good eight hours a day!

    Thanks guys for your input…joclyn I too kept looking in the graptopetalum direction but I could not pin it down. Yesterday I gave it a close up inspection and noticed it had bloomed a really strange bright pinkish, stringy looking thingy under its mother plant leaves…lol. This poor thing has had a little too much water (winter rain) and then every time you touch or handle it it spoils its blue coloring. I’m really sorry I didn’t pot it in a hanging type basket since now its starting to cascade.

    Not a Graptopetalum, Sempervivum, Sedum or even a Sansevieria.

    Its Echeveria 'Perle von Nurnberg'.

    On second thought, it looks more like X Graptoveria 'Debbi'.
