Sempervivum Globiferum Budai Mountains. The Globiferum species offsets (chicks) are small globes that fall off the mother plant (hen) and roll away to root. One of the fallen offsets can be seen in the lower right corner, and there are five still attached to the hen.
 Sempervivum Globiferum Budai Mountains. Five offsets are still attached to the mother plant.

 Sempervivum Heuffelii Cherry Glow, damaged in transit with several lost and broken leaves but should recover.
 Sempervivum Heuffelii Coral Reef. Mostly green with red tips now, but the spring and summer sun should bring out more dramatic colors.
 Sempervivum Heuffelii Orion. It should develop red and purple color with increased light, and silvery cilia on the leaves can give the plant a frosted appearance. The one I received is two rosettes back-to-back.

 Mammillaria Powder Puff Cactus.
 Mammillaria rhodantha cactus, the Rainbow Pincushion.
Jade (Crassula ovata).
