I've exhuasted my search. ID help please

I've looked at every ID page I can find. I've got the 1st frag pegged as poinsettias. However I can't find a match for the orange skirted one. Give me a name or a guess and I'll look it up. Thanks

Far one m looks more like a candy apple red variant. The orange one might be oompaloopas, or mandarin orange, can’t really tell what the center looks like, just an orange skirt which can be a lot of different things.

Sorry hard to take a pic of it. Very small polyps. I'll look all that up. Appreciate it.

Here’s bonafide poinsettias for reference. They grow super slow and come at a premium. It’s not something you’d happen into. I agree that they look like CARs (of which there’s many morphs).



As for the orange skirted ones the skirt looks like an oompa but (from what I can tell) the green doesn’t look right. Depending on how bright it is it could be a morphed spitfire. However, most likely a punk rocker (a catch all for orange/red skirted zoas with a green mouth). Attaching an Oompa Loompa for reference as well.

Yes. Ruled out oompas. I will check out the names you provided. On the other there is a couple of polyps on that bunch that look like your picture. While the rest have the green inner ring.

Here's a better pics of one of the clusters since I moved it low on a rock. Still haven't found anything that looks exactly like it. Close but not quite.

Basically you have any number of similar strains that fall in the candy apple red family with a few named ones; bowsers, hephastus, toucan sam and shazams. The problem is that (outside of the hephastus with its yellow flecks) the distinguishing characteristics of the other three named strains is the color intensity and degree to which the radial barring looks 'metallic.' I would take a look and see if any of those fit the bill (also check candy apple orage). If those don't look correct its wholly possible that its just a particularly nice CAR strain (which I have a few regular ones and a particularly nice strain). As a double caveat 1) its hard to judge these in a vacuum using pics from google images and 2) like the agave family members of the CAR family can and will present differently based on water parameters and lighting... it usually takes 6-7 months to really get stuff settled and know what you have.
