#echeveria #echeveria-agavoides Not sure if plant ID is correct. Plant Snap says it is an echeveria-agavoides-chihuahuaensis. Any thoughts on this? @emch @dadayba

It looks different to me, too @hkyfvr

I would wait until it flowers for proper ID. My guess is Echeveria Tippy or Echeveria colorata but it looks more like Tippy

Thanks Cherry. That sounds like a good plan. If only I could get my echeverias to flower. Not one has ever given me a flower 😩 @dadayba

Cherry says to wait till it flowers if I can get it to flower. Not much luck in that department 🙄🤷‍♀️ Thanks for your help though 😊 @emch

If it's "Tippy," it's quite etiolated...Would it hurt so much for these people to give buyers the names?

I know. It always ticks me off that so many plants have tags but no names. To me it does not look like Tippy but I am new to succulents.🤷‍♀️@emch

So, to gather some clues here: are there actual cactus spines on the leaf tips or are they soft to the touch? Has the plant as a whole stretched out since getting to your place, as if seeking more light? Any color changes?

Check out E. chihuahuaensis "Ruby Blush."

The leaf tips look sharp but are rubbery to the touch. When I bought it Thursday at my local grocery store I waited for them to unload it from the box. It has been under grow lights since. I read one description of an e chihuahuaensis that described one type as being blue-grey in colour as this is. It looks to me like one of the photos in the gtags encyclopedia pics of the e-chihuahuaensis. Thanks for this help. 😊 @emch

Also the colour has not changed at all. It has not really had time to @emch
