Can you explain why that would be the case? I just don't know the details of these plants.

The differences:
Graptosedum ghosty. Has a thick coating of farina, blushes orange/pinkish. Leaves thicker, and edges less sharp, but more rounded.

Graptopetalum paraguayense. Not much farina. Leaves are a grey-ish purplish color. Leaves are thinner, and tips of the leaves more pointy.

There are a lot of Grapto. paraguayense fakes. In the database, there is an entry for Graptopetalum Paraguayense 'Pinky'. Almost all the photos there are not Paraguayense. One of the photos even shows a picture of a plant with yellow flowers, which cannot be paraguayense, because paraguayense has white blooms(!) Confused

By the way, some of the photos in the GS Ghosty entry have captions that say "Graptopetalum paraguayense". Some of these are the true paraguayense. Clearly someone must have gotten mixed up when moving the photos, or someone posted in the wrong place.

Then it would seem to be a pretty clear match for the glaucous plant. I will propose the image be moved, and if Joy has any opinions I'm sure she'll speak up. Smiling

I moved the yellow blooming one posted in Graptosedum (XGraptosedum 'Pinky') (my mistaken photo) to the generic Graptopetalum entry (I hope that's correct Blinking ) and will move my others out too. Let me know which others need moving and to what entry please.
