Would love to know what this is, can't seem to find a photo of it anywhere, thanks so very much! It has rosette like growth seen in other types of succulents, but has thin leaves.

Hi Sara; This one has me puzzled, I'll admit. The powdery coating and the shape are very much like an Echeveria, but as you say the foliage is thin.

It will probably be one of those that as soon as it blooms you'll say, oh, of course! I would be interested to see what the flowers are like, as I have no idea what it is.

Look up Calendrinia on the web. The flowers of this plant are very distinctive.
