Hi Jan,

Not a bad buy for a dollar!

Yes they do have flowers. A stalk with dull orange sort of tubes or bells, typical of Echiverias. They are a cross between an Echiveria and a Pachyphytum. I don't think they are the most spectacular flower but are pleasant enough. I think they are grown more for the plant than the flowers.

Cheers,
Dee.

Sorry my dear it's not a cactus. Are you asking what species of pachyveria it is. When it grows more leaves I think some one on this forum will be able to name it. Norma

It may be a Pachyphytum glaucum (in a bad condition) Hablu

I would cut it off about an inch below the leaves let it `cork` (heal) for about a week or so there`s no rush, plant the top in a sandy compost and after a month or so when it has had a chance to root give it some water and a weak feed, - the old stem will probably make new shoots and look good too
