Neither have I, but we have never had such a warm winter here that I can remember. We sucked all the warmth out of the Midwest and Northeast this year (-:

LOL You got ours too! We've been colder than normal this winter with hardly any break. I'm just glad spring is right around the corner!

Don't bet on it.
Global Warming is very localized.

I have this plant also and it has never bloomed. Wonder if age has anything to do with it.

After viewing all 7 photos, I have a question to have cleared up please. Mine looks the same however, the flowers are in bloom now, and they are bright yellow.
My question is what is the difference between Graptopetalum pachyphytoides and Graptopetalum paraguayense and are Graptopetalum related to Echeverias.
Thanks.
