Help me identify this plant! I found it on Pinterest connected to a long article about succulents -- in Portuguese -- that didn't identify the plant in any way. Would LOVE to know the cultivar name so I can get one somehow. Anyone? #whoknows #plantID

I've seen ebay sellers sell this. They call it bubblegum succulents. They have others that have round leaves.

Photoshopped, @dadayba ? Will look into this, TY. EDIT: I see what you mean. In the only 2 cases of Google images by that name that looked anything like the plant shown here, you tap on them for more information and it takes you to the same photo with the pink removed. Total bait and switch, #blastit -- I AM DISAPPOINT.

@emch there are a lot of photo edited succulent plants out there use as a bait. I have a group of friends who are hardcore succulent and cactus collectors and every now and then we talk about this photoshopped pictures of succulents. Sorry to disappoint you on the pink color. The plant is beautiful regardless of not being too pink. I’ll post mine later and tag you. I think you should still get it even if it’s not pink

I do have a pale-pinkly-peachy kind of Graptopetalum but it's just getting started. Sharing an efficiency apt with my Little Pickles plant. Looking forward to summer colors on both.
