Could somebody help me identify this little guy I rescued from a gift shop please?  
I think it may be a “Dwarf Chin” but I’m not sure  
Thank you 😊

I’m about 90% positive on this one.

Thank you! The “dwarf chin” that I originally thought is in the same family! Do you think it’s more likely going to be this one than the “dwarf chin”. I think it looks more like the one you suggested but I’m not sure 😂

The other side blooms white. It’s the best.

Is it planted in a wine bottle cork?

#### Maddison replied on 2023-07-18

Yes, I haven’t had a chance to repot it yet

### Rhonda commented on 2023-07-18

Adorable!

#### Maddison replied on 2023-07-19

I have no idea how I’ll get her out without destroying the cork though 😂
