Hi Charles,
       You are right about the Epiphyllum hybrid but not the Aloe. I don't see an aloe and this URL didn't work. I got nothing but blank when I call it up. Maybe the Aloe is on there?

       Most of the plants are sedums - can't tell you what the species names are. It would take a while to research .. and
to tell the truth the plants are in bad shape so you can't really be sure what they'd look like if grown properly.

       Anyhow .. the one I can give the species name is the red one bottom off center to the right. That is Sedum
rubrotinctum - common name Jelly Beans. Can't see much of that either but the color is distinctive.

Barry, I'm forwarding this to the best expert I know, Marina Welham.

She is the editor of "The Amateur's Digest", a cactus and succulent journal.

I'm sure she can and will help with these ID's.

Be sure to allow her to answer.

Marina, if you answer and it gets turned down because you are not a "member" please send it to me and I'll send it to them!

I hope it's OK that I forwarded this to you.---Chas---

A friend of mine who lives in Santa Rosa bought somewhat on a whim

about 20 or so plants, all succulents of some sort from an older woman

via Craigslist. I couldn't give her any specific species/cultivars

because I haven't really gotten into succulents, but I thought some of

you might be able to tell what she has. I'll post the links to each

picture she took below:

The only one I could tell was likely the Epiphyllum (I think) on the right.

Some sort of aloe with other succulents

Any ideas on what she bought? I'm guessing the woman she purchased

them from simply grew them without much knowledge of what they were.

Thank you!

Barry
