    I got this plant as a 3 inch stem cutting two years ago. It flowered in July and I am wondering if anyone can ID it for me.

    The flower looks like a Red Dragonflower Succulent/Huemia Schneideriana Jewell.

    I believe the name is Huernia schneideriana
    an r next to an n gets mistaken for m a lot, they really should put a little more space between some letters.

    And it is not in our database so feel free to suggest it ;)

    Thanks Toni and Eileen for the help. I was so shocked when it bloomed, but I knew that might help ID it. :-D Fun getting cuttings and watching them turn into plants.

    Cherylad glad you enjoyed looking ;)
