I know. I must have been nuts that day! I wish I could get as much satisfaction out of owning its pic as I do its body! LOL. And a pic never ever shrivels up and dies.

I did go back and buy another one I left. I will take its pic later. It has the same illuminating look though a different color.

Weird. Looking at the 2 pictures you submitted, are you sure it's Aeonium canariense? Mine is a darker green and has fuzzy leaves, looking very much like palmbob's images too.

Looking at it again, how didn't I get it? I just love it. I have to go out and look at the one I did buy. I hope it looks better than this one. LOL The few times I show restraint, I always regret it.

Gee Sue, I do not know. They are 2 different plants and both were marked as it. I was thinking the pretty one was stressed and that is why it had such great color. The shape does look like some of the other plants on google like this. http://www.rareplants.de/shop/product.asp?P_ID=6447&numLanguageID=2

Here is another beauty that was at the same nursery. Sue and I were looking at it the other day. They look like they have inner light. I think this may not be the normal color either. This one had no name tag.
