This plant isn't Graptopetalum paraguayense, but appears to be xGraptosedum 'Francesco baldi'. Smiling

Yes, it's still looking like Francesco baldi. Francesco baldi often has the orangey pink hues shown in your photos. Grapto. Paraguayense, however, stays a bland grey all year round. Smiling IMHO

The leaves on Francesco Baldi are more long and narrow, and seem to be almost faceted in many cases. Lynn's plant is not a match (given the photos en masse). The flowers would be the most black and white comparison. The hybrid lacks the "marked petals" of the Grapto parent. I hesitate to say more than that because there is a swarm of plants in the general vicinity of that Graptopetalum, a fair amount of diversity, and then lots of hybrids on top, and I don't have the knowledge or experience to tell them all apart.

I think these images are fine where they are, unless Lynn has recent pictures that shed light on the situation.

Sorry, forgot about this. On my way out right now to take a photo. Please understand that they have been outdoors under the patio roof all winter, this makes a difference on what they look like.

This is exactly what mine looked like for the first couple of years I had it.


It gradually started looking like this. Mine gets quite a bit of sun in the summer, winter is outdoors on a covered deck. No water in the winter, but very bright light and some sun during the daytime.
Today, bright light with some sun, no water.

Today, same plant in very low light, no water.

I think it's fine in the Graptopetalum paraguayense. Thank You!
