Yes. I routinely visit these sites to check out types that I want or to verify ID's as much as possible.

The new plant that I was raving about is named 'Monanthes brachycaulon'. I've a picture attached. I took a bunch of pictures today, but only a few were good enough to share. Not much on the web about this one, but the japanese succulent site has some more pictures. The pictures that are listed for Monanthes polyphylla look a lot closer to mine than the ones on the site for brachycaulon. That means to me that there is a question regarding ID for what I have. The quarter in my pic gives you a feel for the size of this one. They have a "leaf" structure that produces elongated rosettes that look like a semp getting ready to bloom and they put out chicks on stolons that can be long (2"). You can see a couple in this picture. I'll try to get better pictures soon - was short on time today.
