Help to identify a succulent please

Bagpuss · « **on:** June 07, 2007, 19:24 »

I bought this plant in a charity shop today. It was grown by the elderly lady serving there. She said she had had the parent plant for years and would love to know what it was, but had been unable to find out. I've looked in my books and can't find it either. Has anyone any ideas please?

I've edited your posting so we can see the picture bagpus

Thanks Aunt Sally. I didn't know why the picture didn't come up, I managed it last time. Must have done soemthing different. I'll google echivera and see what I can come up with.

I've googled it and there's not much out there. It just rang a big bell with me. I grow quite a few of them. If you find a good information site do post it

I got it, thanks to your intitial identification, by googling Echeveria Harmsii and it is the fourth item down.
