# Help! I got these surprise cuttings in an Etsy order and I don't know…

_Posted by Kristen on 2025-08-01_

Help! I got these surprise cuttings in an Etsy order and I don't know what they are. I'm pretty sure the red are aeonium arboreum and I think one of the green ones might be a well but the green ones are different. 2 have white hair. They have twig like stems

I am no expert but I got some “chicks and hens” from a friend and they look like these.

### Nunyabzwx commented on 2025-08-01

Yeah they do look like chick and hens actually

### Lali commented on 2025-08-01

I agree. Must be some variety of them.

### Kristen commented on 2025-08-01

Even with the twig bottoms?

### Abby commented on 2025-08-03

Sorry, these are not hen and chicks. They’re all some type of aeoniums. The small green ones are Aeonium haworthii also known as pinwheels.

#### Abby replied on 2025-08-03

The one with the little hairs look like an aeonium simsii. I have a bigger one of those.
