Succulent ID confirmation help requested. PlantNet is showing this as a probable Echeveria canto and a possible Dudleya pulverulenta. I think it is more likely a Dudleya (very thin and very chalky leaves that are tough to remove). This one is at least 3-4 years old and I had to split it today into two parts (I accidentally knocked it off the shelf a couple of years ago and you can see in the second photo where it has been trying to separate).

@chillicampari @plants I seem to remember Dudleya flowers stem from the bottom part of the rosette, while Echeveria ones from the top and that's a semi-reliable way to tell them apart.

I just searched for it to make sure, and this page agrees: https://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/2318

@tofu aha! That helped, thank you. It looks like a close match to what's on this page https://www.succulentsdelight.com.au/products/echeveria-thin-leave-blue-bird-%E8%96%84%E5%8F%B6%E8%93%9D%E9%B8%9F?variant=40402469486778 and the video here https://www.ixigua.com/6830379655682327044?logTag=4edc423f33ce79db4113

which are labeled as an Echeveria Blue Bird (thin leaf) which I can't fine another name for (maybe it's a hybrid?) Thanks again for the help!

I've always had a thing for succulents. We have one plant that grows the most incredible stalk and flowers at the end...reminds me of an alien plant.

Our indoor, potted aloe is officially blooming with the lower flowers finally opening. Definitely took its time getting to it over these past few weeks.

Another close-up photograph of oblong flowers hanging along the flower stalk of an aloe plant. The angle shows where the yellow, tube-shaped flowers have peeled back slightly at the bottom to expose dangling stamens. The entire structure has a standard flower shape but as if its been stretched to a lengthy extreme.
Photograph of an indoor, potted aloe plant tucked in the corner of a room next to a mostly glass door. The spike of a flower stalk rises well above the green, upright succulent leaves, the flower buds spreading along the stalk in a feather-like appearance with the lower flowers drooping down and opening.

The light from a nearby glass door illuminates the flowers to show off the yellow hues marked by pale green stripes along the flowers’ lengths. Each tube-shaped flower bends down from where it attaches to the stalk and exposes dangling stamens through an opening at the bottom.

    Still enjoying the drama of our indoor blooming aloe. The lighting on this reminded me of the green towering Chihuly glass sculpture at the MFA in Boston.

    @gabboman I only as of last year really got a green thumb. Even then it's been iffy. I went from like 20 plants to well over 100 now. A lot of them are food bearing but no good pictures right now since they're sleeping for winter. I'm excited tho I got some pepper seedlings I can't wait to harden off when it gets warmer. Need to try and sprout some more stuff here soon too
