Anyone know what these are? The first one looks very invasive and isn't very attractive. It looks like it just drops tons of plantlets and they all grow.

The other two are interesting, will they flower spectacularly?

Thank you for looking. :)

Here are my guess’s.

1. Mother of thousands (Kalanchoe daigremontianal)

2. some type of Graptopetalum, maybe G. pachyphyllum

3. Propeller plant (Crassula perfoliatata var. falcata) one of my favorite succulent for its bright red orange flowers.

1. Kalanchoe tubiflora. Very weedy yes, but you have to love them. (AMAZING flower show, BTW.)

2. Pachyphytum oviferum

3. Crassula falcata

Thank you Palm crazy and Santoury for the information, I think I can work with these. I am working with a new yard and things are scattered around here and there, so I would like to get these plants grouped and organized and this helps.

Thanks again.

Carl, ditch the K. tubiflora, you'll thank me for it later. As Palmcrazy noted, C. falcata has some of the most intensely orange/red flowers of the genus.

I think that #2 is a Grapotpetalum. ovifera doesn't have pointed tips on the leaves....

pretty sure that is a common Graptopetalum paraguayense… are variable depending upon how they are grown but looks fairly typical to me.

Hey Gonzer, yeah I was looking at the "carpet" of plants growing beneath the larger ones and it made me think of that movie "Green Slime" that had the aliens that bled more baby green slimes! I think I will regulate them to a succulent pot.

Here is one more for identification:

Kalanchoe luciae (K thyrsiflora is often what people call K luciae, but K thyrsiflora is actually an extremely rare plant in cultivation).
