Echeveria Contrast : Beauty in the Garden

Just couldn't resist taking these photos after the rain in the afternoon sun.

Pearls, Tears, Bananas, and Monkeys, Burros, Burritos

There are several chain type succulents thatg often get confused and called all sorts of names, I like to know the right names and then I know what I am dealing with :)

First we have the strings...pearls, tears and bananas, these are all of the Senecio family:


Senecio Rowleyanus - known as string of pearls or string of beads

Senecio Radicans Galuca - known as string of bananas or fishhooks

Senecio Herreianus or Kleinia Gomophylla - know as string of tears

Then we have the tails... donkey's, burro's and super burro's, these are all of the Sedum family

Sedum Morgianium - known as donkey's tail or burro's tail

Sedum Burrito (was Sedum Morgianium ssp Burrito) - known as burrito's tail

Sedeveria Harry Butterfield known as super burro's tail, this is a Sedum hybrid or cross of Sedum Morgianium and Echeveria Derenbergii

And very similar is Sedeveria Moreganden, probably the same parents as Harry Butterfield, but it has paler leaves rather than the bluish green of Harry Butterfield and the flowers are more orangey rather than the pinky flower of Harry Butterfield.
