Echeveria identification got you puzzled? Send a picture and I'll try and identify it for you.
In everyone's collection of plants, there's always at least one mystery plant. Echeveria as a group seem to either be mis-identified, with the wrong name on the tag, or unidentified, with no tag at all. Still others are hand-me-alongs, from friends or family, or from garage sales. Other succulent plants can be a mystery too. I've bought new Echeveria from seemingly reputable growers or garden centers only to find when I start to research them that the tag is totally wrong. Have you had the same experience? And the ones that jump into your shopping cart at large box stores, well, they sometimes only have a tag that simply says 'succulent plant'.
