Sue, thank you so much! And this one blooms??? Even more appealing to me. I'll have to give my DH a much better plant to give my neighbor, for his "proper thank you". Lovey dubby Lovey dubby

Gigi, just taking a guess on the far right one: Graptoveria opalina?

And you can post the other two on the Plant ID forum.http://garden.org/forums/view/plantid/

There are so many crosses between genus and then hybrids of a genus, that some can be difficult to ID. Some times the plant has to bloom before you can be sure.

Bev good guess; it does look like graptoveria opalina or pachyveria blue pearl.

Lynn, will most likely post it there later this week if I can come home early enough to take a clear pictures.

Mystery solved I was right, my neighbors got back from vacation. They remember that I started collecting succulents and surprised me. My husband gave them one of my newly potted Epidendrum Fulgens (they were thrilled I guess they've been eyeing it) and an azalea plant.

I am going to dig out the big blue strawberry pots next week, came home yesterday with a couple more plants for in them. Will post pics when I get them out. I was going to ask the boys to bring them up to the patio for me they sure are heavy pots but we are having a few days of cold weather so I will let them sit in the GH for a few more days till this front moves out.
Life is Great! Holly

Thanks Greg. I might have to ask for ID on the 2nd. I found the real "topsy turvy" for $2.97 (I know I'm supposed to just look) but accidentally sat on it while taking a pic of my stonecrop. Grumbling Grumbling

Grumbling Thumb of 2013-05-12/GigiPlumeria/97ae84. Hopefully, this will recover. It was a pitiful looking "topsy turvy to begin with but got to rescue it, now this. Crying

Here's the culprit photo:

Hilarious! what a crazy day Bev, hope this Echeveria runyonii 'topsy turvy' will survive. I'm going to take care of it really good so it will bounce back Whistling

Even my DH who is not a plant lover felt sorry for me and this little guy.

Well shoot, looking at your second photo of that one, I see now that is isn't 'Topsy Turvy' after all. It was those curved up leaves in the first picture that fooled me. Sorry about that! *Blush*

Lynn, thanks for the encouragement.

Sue it's ok I researched it too and I was certain it was topsy turvy, but when I found the clearance 'topsy turvy' I noticed that the leaf looks inverted. I had to buy it because I fell in love with the flower photo Smiling

Greg, the NOID was one of the 3 succulents given to me by my neighbor, so it is mine. It has 4 little babies underneath the large body and one of the leaf that came off has a baby too. It is most likely a graptoveria but I could not find a match. So it is in the plant ID forum for now.

By the way, I did visit HD and there on display were various succulent combos from Riverview Flower Farms, just like the pics I sent on the earlier thread. The combos were very affordable at $12.99 but I just looked. DH let me take home the clearance topsy turvy. Thumbs up

Gigi, it must be nice to have someone to "moderate" one's "obsession"!! Whistling I'm not always the best at "self control" when it comes to those lovely little plants! Sticking tongue out
