We now have at least thirteen varieties in the house. They are so small and weird looking, I can't help but want to collect and grow all the new varieties as we find them. So today I am going to dig around online and find photos of each of the plants I have been able to procure so far.
Crassula ovata
We have two varieties of this species:
Jade Plant
and Hobgoblin Fingers (also called Gollum Fingers)
Anacampseros telephiastrum
Two varieties of the Haworthia family:
Haworthia Cooper
And Haworthia Reinwardtii also known as "Zebra Pillar"
Pachyphytum Bracteosum
We have a couple of Sempervivum plants as well.
Sempervivum arachnoideum
And also Sempervivum montanum Although it's hard to say for sure. There are so many Sempervivum plants out there. We have the generic kind purchased at Home Depot and Ikea.
These are usually referred to as "Chicks and Hens"Sedum dasyphyllum
Maybe. I know it looks like something from the Sedum family. To be honest, it is pretty hard to pin point something exactly. There are so many varieties of plants...
Crassula arborescens
There are at least three more. I know one is commonly referred to as a "Pie Plant" and I have no idea what the other two are called. But I have spent way too long on this post as it is. Also, if I made any mistakes or labeled anything incorrectly please feel free to correct me. Most of my information was just pulled from the internet doing image searches, and digging around various sites for clues.

love the last one!
So are you gonna introduce me to all of your plants when I come to visit?
Just make sure none of them say, "feed me, Seymour!"

PS. Remember when we used to watch Little Shop of Horrors and we'd keep rewinding it to that part where Rick Moranis is electrocuting the plant and the plant says, "Ohhh S#!*". . . yeah, good times. . . gooood times.
Succulents really are the best! They're beautiful and they never die. Matt and I love them as well. Have you ever been to Disneyland and seen their HUGE succulent garden on the Storybook ride? It's really cool! You'd love it!
