ID's anyone?

[shawnintland]

Ok, found some new plants and a few of them I have no idea what they are! Here goes;
These first ones almost look like Lithops?






These "appear" to be Tillandsias but no idea what species;






And a couple Begonias;



Any help ID'ing these would be appreciated!

1-4 are succulents, a cousin of cactus.

Grow in the same condition as cactus, lot's of sunlight + minimal water. Propogate thru leaves, soon you'll end up with lot's of babies!

Thanks Athene! I figured they were succulents too, but it's been many years since I've had any and they were just "strange" enough that I couldn't pass them up! The Tillandsias were so packed into the pots that I had to take them as well. Figured I'd separate them and spread them out. Then when I went to divide them I found that they had pretty elaborate root systems growing in cocopeat. All the Tills I've come across have never had roots like this, so I'm not sure if that's what they really are?

Hongrui - yes, I thought the same! Not bad for about a dollar each! I'll try a little leaf propagation and if it works...well, you'll probably need another "tee-shirt" again soon! One of my Hoya packages was declared "LOST" by EMS on it's way to Malaysia... I tend to think it was "found" instead!

OK, got some feedback on another forum; seems the Tills are Tillandsia cyania, possibly T. cyanea 'Anita'.

Thanks Shawn! But how can EMS lose a package?! i fully agree that it was probably "found" by somebody somewhere.

That first and second ones are a variety of the "Jade Plant." It will get just as large. We call it "Cup Leafed Jade" here or at least I do . Nice plant in my opinion.
