Re: Graptosedum???

No, Harry, this is rather a xGraptoveria.

How to distinguish between xGraptoveria and xGraptosedum ?

xGraptoveria = Graptopetalum x Echeveria
Graptopetalum has flowers with widely spreading petals, Echeveria has a cylindrical corolla with only tips of the petals (often) spreading, that means the flower of the hybrid is somewhat in between, petals less spreading than in Graptopetalum but more spreading than in Echeveria. This applies to your plant.

xGraptosedum = Graptopetalum x Sedum
Both species have widely spreading petals, that means the hybrid has also widely spreading petals, for ex. : http://www.crassulaceae.ch/de/artikel?a … B&aID=2315

(Of course, as always, there are exceptions ......)

Thanks Margrit. I shall research the whole site
Harry

I did and my next try is  'Helios', only the flower is maybe not yellow enough, but has a reddish appearance to the points.

It is not far from 'Helios', but can as well be an unnamed hybrid.
