Bowl of the Unknowns

I'm going to have to get used to the idea that I will know what some of my succulents are, and I will have only a general idea about others. I take pictures so I can keep track of the which specimens have IDs and which do not and should not be allowed to vote. Today I picked up a 5-inch pot with six different succulents in it at Home Depot today for less than $6, $2 off regular price. It seems there are six different types, some with multiple rosettes for a total of nine distinct pieces. $1 for each type, plus a short terra cotta pot, bargain.

My best guess clockwise starting at upper right is Echeveria, Sedum, Pachyphytum, Sedeveria, Graptopetalum, and a Crassula in the middle. If that's 50% accurate, I would be surprised. I'm going to disassemble this and put a rosette of "Echeveria" and "Sedum" in the Bonsai Bowl, and one of "Sedum" in the Montage Bowl. I might give the "Crassula" and "Pachyphytum" their own containers, which leaves four pieces to go back into this bowl. The Crassula appears to be the variety 'Ogre Ears,' but the coloration is off perhaps from the stress of being jammed into this pot. Another reason to give it its own container.

Altman Plants of Vista, CA is the supplier. I think they also supply other big box stores. I saw a similar product in a different pot at Walmart, marked with the same regular price.

In greenhouse news, I picked up onion sets at Walmart, $4 for an assortment of 100 white, yellow and purple. I gave some away because I don't have room for 100 onions in the greenhouse. The alliums are already growing in the southwest planter, so I'm going to designate that my onion/garlic section. I was going to put some flowers there, but those are now designated only for the southeast planter. The east planter will be strawberries, and the west planter will be tomatoes, peppers and a few other things. The bench and open area on the north wall will be lined with plenty of other stuff in pots and grow bags, and the 50+ succulents will be... somewhere.
