Thank you, Tiffany.

Yes, I think that is probably it. Interesting. This info took me to the database which contained a former ATP thread. That thread referenced this site:

http://crassulaceae.net/xgrapt...

which contained this info:

" 'Bronze'
Origin unknown / Origine inconnue.
Parentage / Parenté : Graptopetalum paraguayense x Sedum stahlii (?)
Named by / Nommé par Marjorie Shields, New Zealand, as a Sedum hybrid (Nat. Cact. & Succ. Journ. 33 (4): 86, 1978).
Also distributed as / Aussi distribué comme : xG. ‘Vera Higgins’, xG. ‘Coffee’, xG. ‘Alpenglow’ (ISI 2001-34), Graptopetalum Roseum n.n."

So along with 'Vera Higgins', this plant is distributed under the names of 'Bronze', 'Coffee', 'Alpenglow' and Roseum. The photos on that site match everything about the plant I'm growing. But listing all the given names is a hassle, but I think Graptopetalum paraguayense x Sedum stahlii (?) is going to make it a Graptosedum. It's amazing how many common names plants acquire. And I probably don't want to know how many other plants may share the same common name. 'Alpenglow' sounds awfully familiar Smiling
