I found a couple of interesting fascinated plants at a local nursery yesterday. The first is crested at its growth tip(s)
All the stems seem to be somewhat fascinated, though some more than others. It'll be interesting to see it develop
The second one is a bit more unusual looking. The leaves look like some sort of montrose form
The raised parts in the middle part of the leaves reminds me somewhat of Echeveria 'barbillion' whose leaf form I've always assumed was caused by fasciation. The leaves on mine are somewhat more interesting though. Some of them have a spike attached to the leaf mitten style (the spike being the thumb). I also noticed some deformity on one of the stems
Unlike the other one, there were several of these for sale. Makes me wonder if it's a named variety
Two pretty interesting additions to my collection

Re: Crested succulent additions
In fact, the second one does have a name: Echeveria 'Blue Spur'. It's been around since the 50s. And it's not actually a crest, but some form of monstrose growth
