Author Garden: Mystery Succulents Connie_d Great Gardener Member # 2295 posted                       I recently bought a couple of succulents, and I am wondering if anyone can tell me what they are.

There is a huge one, growing in the front yard of the house I rent, and it looks like that one. Bottom right- Jade, maybe? * * * * Plants: 821 | From: Southern California, USA | Registered: Jul 2003  |  Seeded: 198.74.36.70 Bill The Garden Helper Member # 1 posted                       The mystery succulent is a Coral Aloe (Aloe striata) Mystery succulent #2 might be a Ghost Plant (Graptopetalum paraguayense) Plants: 11227 | From: Cedar Hill Washington | Registered: Aug 2002  |  Seeded: 165.121.27.228 Connie_d Great Gardener Member # 2295 posted                       Thank you Bill & Michele!

I have a ghost plant, and I have #2 (I don't know what it's called either!), but they are different plants. Yes, the leaves are a similar shape FROM THE TOP, and they're the same color, but from the side, the ghost plant leaves are deeper and come to a point. I'll take pictures to show what I'm talking about. * * * * Custom Weathervanes - hand made Plants: 97 | From: Gainesville, FL | Registered: Oct 2003  |  Seeded: 24.250.208.235 boxmonkey Great Gardener Member # 1595 posted                       On second thought, your mystery plant MIGHT not be the same as mine, but it's definitely not a ghost plant. Check it out: Baby ghost plant Ghost plant Ghost plant underside Baby mystery plant Baby mystery plant 2 Although the gost plant and the baby mystery plant look similar, the "adult" version of the plant I took the mystery plant from looks way different, with the wide leaves that go out and sort of scoop up, as opposed to the adult ghost plant where you can see that it sort of makes a rose shape.
