Can anyone tell me what this gray-green succulent is called? I love the tiny little flowers. Would like to be able to put a name tag on it. Thanks!

So pretty! I'm just guessing it might be a graptoveria. I'm looking but haven't found that one yet. Gorgeous little flowers!

"Little" is the key word here; less than 1/2" across. But zoomed in, they're spectacular!
Thanks for looking..... I appreciate the help.

I found some flowers that looked the same as yours on a graptopetalum filiferum, but the plant was too green. I think Baja nailed it.

Definitely in the genus. The way you know it's not an intergeneric Echeveria hybrid is by the shape of the flowers. Echeveria flowers are tubular and their hybrids tend to retain this feature, even if in a reduced way (sort of cup-like sometimes instead of actually tubular).

Thanks, that's nice to know about the flowers. I haven't ever had much luck with echeverias so I'm not too familiar with them.

I think you nailed it, Baja. I put it in the plant database; if it's wrong, someone will tell me. Though tiny, the flowers are so complex! You just have to look closely.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
