Very nice! Agree with Lynn, but an idea of size would be nice (and help confirm the ID)

Hurray! Hi twit. It really is a beauty, but difficult to tell the size in that photo.

Here's what she says: "The pot is about 12 inches wide.
After further searching, I think this could be O. erubescens. It is not hardy and winters in the greenhouse." and sent another pic.

Jacki here is a link for O. erubescens. Spiny Pennywort (Orostachys spinosa)

Try posting the photo here. Or post here to Marko. He has some great information on the naming of Orostachys. http://sempervivum.aforumfree....
What a mess in the naming department.
That is one reason why we haven't done very much with the Orostachys in the database here. Still trying to make sure I have entries correctly named with synonyms. Sad

Let me know what you find out.
