I got a little closer with the Echeveria clan. </p> <p><strike>But it turns out this bronzed beauty is a hybrid of the two - a Sedeveria. Whatever! Might as well call it a Wackyeptia cause I won’t remember it anyway, specially when they’re making up new plant names all the time. </strike> </p> <p>Update from an alert reader: Sedum nussbaumerianum (Coppertone Stonecrop) </p> <p>Love the succulents. It’s the names I can’t keep up with. <br><br></p> <h1> More about plants </h1> <p><a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/item/I_dont_know_what_it_isbut_I_want_one/" title="I don't know what it is, but I want one">I don’t know what it is, but I want one</a><br /> <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/item/the_classic_eucalyptus_conundrum/" title="The classic eucalyptus conundrum">The classic eucalyptus conundrum</a><br /> <a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/item/two_ways_to_role_with_tillandsia/" title="Two ways to roll with tillandsia">Two ways to roll with tillandsia</a></p> <p><br />—————————————————————————————-</p> <p><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1103853/The-birdwatcher-travelled-Norway-spot-rare-bird--Cornwall-garden.html" title="DAILY READ:">DAILY READ:</a> Daily Mail - A 58 year-old Cornwall ornithologist spent a month in Norway looking for Snow Buntings then found one in her garden when she got back. </p> <p> </p> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top"> <td><a href="http://www.dirtdujour.com/"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/coupon_spot.jpg" alt="Visit dirtdujour.com" width="225" height="147" border="0" /></a></td> <td style="padding-left: 15px;"><img src="http://www.dirtdujour.com/images/email_sponsored.jpg" alt="Sponsored" width="219" height="58" /> <h3>Digging for weekly deals:</h3> <p>Just what we need at this time of year: a rubber boot tray 40% off at Ballard Designs.
