    Well I finally found them localy. I haven't found all the ones I wanted but I got some good ones. The main one I still want to get is Haworthia truncata. Although there are a couple dozen others I will hope to get sooner or later, my list from before was huge.

    In the second picture, I need some help arranging them. Do they look okay as is or should I move them around? Put the watch chain in the middle and the others around the edges? Put the watch chain in it's own pot?

    Aloe descoingsii x Gasteria caespitosa
    "Chocolate Soldier" Kalanchoe tomentosa
    "Sunrise Plant" Anacampseros telephiastrum variegata
    (some other starts and leaves from others that were on the store floor, not sure what they are.)

    Crassula argentea cv. Gollum
    "Key Lime Pie" Adromischus cristatus
    "Living rock" Pleiospilos nelii
    Haworthia cymbiformis g. acilidelineata
    "Baby Toes" Fenestraria rhodalophylia

    "Watch Chain" Crassula lycopodioides

    Anyway, enjoy and hopefully this summer I will have a large planter made to arrange them all together.

    I would like to see the Watch Chain in proportion to the other plants you are thinking about putting it with. The Watch Chain could stand all on its own, it is a nice specimen.

    It is rather large so I am thinking it needs to be on it's own. I was surprised to find such a nice specimen at a local store.

    I also think that the Gollem is gonna need to be on it's own. From what I have found it can get rather tall, the pot says up to and over 4' (feet) tall so I think it is gonna be way too large for a collection in these smaller planters. The rest of them stay small so it will be a while before they over crowd each other, I hope. If they grow as well as my normal Jade does I will be needing larger pots by the end of the year.

    You've got some nice succulents there, congratulations on your newly purchased babies. :D I really like the living rocks myself, but they don't like our window sill for some reason.
