The plant shown above is not Sedum Burrito, but Sedum Morganianum. This can be told by the leaves, Sedum Morganianum has sharper more pointed leaves and a more elongated form, while S. Burrito has rounded more compact leaves like the plant shown in the photo above. Both plants are mistakenly sold for each other. Both are sold a Burro's tail. I suggest that the plant above be moved to the plant entry for Sedum Morganianum.

I'm not sure there aren't 2 different plants in this image, one sort of yellowish green (front) and the other sort of bluish green (back). It would appear the former matches morganianum but the latter matches burrito. So this image could be okay where it is, if that's the case. Let me know what you think.

Yes I think there is both Morganianum and Burrito in the picture. At nurseries it is common to see both plants in one pot going as "burro's tail". I think we should put a caption saying which is which to avoid confusion. Because the picture has primarily Morganianum, I would move it to the Morganianum entry, and include in the caption "with Sedum Burrito in the background" or something like that.

I am going to propose the image be moved to the genus entry for Sedum, since that applies to both plants. This thread will serve as an identifier for the curious. I don't think we have the ability to edit captions.
