# I am new to succulents. I ordered on a whim online and I have no idea…

_Posted by Heather on 2023-10-02_

I am new to succulents. I ordered on a whim online and I have no idea what they are. I really didn’t care… but now I’m enjoying them so much I do care!!! Anyone able to help me identify these?

The tall ones are donkey’s tails. The red tinted one is probably a graptopetalum. Not positive. The other two are some kind of echeverias. The person who would definitely know for sure is the seller. Send an email with the pictures since you bought them online. Good luck.

Try the app called LeafSnap. It’s really helpful.
