    Hi there,
    I wonder if anyone can tell me what type of cactus I have? I bought it about a year and a half ago from a flower show in a tiny little pot. It's now grown to about ten times it's original size and has started flowering. I have never seen this before and noone I know can even guess what it is. Now it's really starting to bug me.
    Can anyone help?

    Thank you,

    Hi!
    It's an Echeveria sp. (a succulent plant, but not a cactus...)
