No, these aren't orchids. They are succulents which used to be my other growing passion, besides my waistline....don't go there, anybody.... Anyway, I have several "NOID" succulents that I'd like some help with, if anybody recognizes them....I know ID-ing hybrid anything is a crap-shoot at best....the 1st may be a Crassula while the others are Echeveria and I've put a name to one of them but may be wrong...could be Paul Bunyan

Just to add to my thread, here are some flowers of two Echeveria. The 2nd one is a NOID and is pictured above. E. runyonii has a larger flower than the usual Echeveria as you can see from these examples.

These are awesome. I have a couple of noid succulents also. Both are still small, but I hope to bloom them sometime. I love the look of the flowers. Nice growing, Howard.

Cheers,
BD

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .

The flower facing the camera in the first pic amused me -- looks like a mouth with teeth along the lower "jaw" (anthers I assume....)

Those are pretty...i've just started my "collection" of succulents. I like the ones without those awful thorns. There is one outfront that must go soon as it's gotten to big to handle without gloves and a leather apron!

Very cool, Howard. I love the colors at the top of the plant in the first picture.
