I found it with the help of a very determined person..lol I found only 1 other photo on the web of it. It is a crassula mesembryanthemoides! Such a big name for this little guy!
Here is a picture of it on the site it is the 10th picture. http://www.textureplants.co.nz/succulent_crassula.html

You are going to hate me. It could also be Delosperma echinatum. Please measure the leaves for me. Something is wrong with the picture it just doesn't seem to match the name. Where did you get it from. Often that is a clue.
Crassula mesembryanthemoides is shown on page 83 Succulents The Illustrated Dictionary, the leaves are life size and the color is accurate. This is not a good book to use for the Crassula species for identification.

Holly, I found the database and will be making entries. The last two were Crassula. These I know something about. The rest I'm lerning one at a time.
I will be going to Lowe's today and check out the stock. I do understand why he does not name the plants, to many hours that he has to pay for, I not sure if he knows the names. Too easy for the workers to put in the wrong label, it is a hugh operation. Norma

Norma, thought the two plants look familiar it is not the Delosperma. Here is a picture of that one. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/interiorscape/delospermapru.html
And then here is a picture of mine, this picture works in internet explorer. It did not seem to work in my netscape http://www.lapshin.org/succulent/crms.htm
I just need to figure out the exact name of it!!!
Thanks Holly
