ID help?
This pretty sempervivum was labeled as a 'Flanders Passion' on its nursery pot, but Greg isn't finding it. Is there another name for it? I planted it with these others in this arrangement! #identifymyplant #identify #sempervivum

Such an adorable arrangement! 😍
Just like with Echeveria there are soooo many Sempervivum, so Greg doesn't have them all in the library (yet!)
Tag #gregteam #gregfeedback or hit up the amazing @RJG and he may be able to help. 🙂
if you're on Android (like me) you can't add it yourself.
P. S. The Greg Team appreciates a link to a reliable source for the species w/the scientific name to verify that it is valid
(with a comparison pic to your plant).
Some nurseries label things wrong and/or make up common names, which is frustrating honestly...
I often use this site for proper ID's but they may not have all hybrid cultivars listed if it's rare one or the nursery used a common name that's not that widely used.

P. S. Just a tip for this arrangement - always water according to the one that is the least water hungry of the species...
In this one, I think the Lola will most likely show signs it needs water last (wrinkled/dimpled or dry leaves) - so water only when it needs water - because Lola's are super sensitive to rotting (at least all I've grown/killed are 😳🙏🏽 RIP my 1st Lola! 😞)
The Sempervivum are more forgiving and super resilient to many conditions (I grow my outside potted in basically just rocks lol, but they will appreciate a fan if kept inside!
Enjoy your new cute succs! 🌱 🙂💚 💙 💜

@roxyvivien I'm sorry I kept forgetting to respond to you!! My bad, I'm a busy grad student 😅 Thanks for the advice! My biggest issue with succs is finding a place to put them where they get enough light not to etiolate, since windows and sunlight is at a premium in my tiny apartment lol. The group of 3 here are called lilac mists (so pretty!) and you recognized the lola!
