PATSP is a long-winded, intermittently humorous blog which is mostly about houseplants, particularly Anthuriums and Schlumbergeras.
This work plant bloomed a few weeks ago, and I wasn't sure at the time what it was. Eventually I came up with a guess: I'm guessing it's an Aeonium of some sort. (Can someone confirm?) The flowers aren't anything to get too excited over, but they definitely look different than a lot of the other succulent flowers at work, so I figured I'd share..jpg)

Size? I can't tell whether I'm looking at one sprangly plant or a group of plants on the bench. Flower's kind of pretty though.
Hmmm. Aeonium's a good guess. At first I thought, oh, it's a sempervivum. But then, I began to wonder if it might actually be a sedum...
Yes, it is an Aeonium. My closest guess would be Aeonium davidbramwellii. There aren't too many Aeonium with white flowers.
The rosettes are too small for A. davidbramwellii as that needs to be fairly massive to flower (my last one to flower was about five feet tall from the ground to the top of the inflorescence.
I think what you had was A. decorum - it usually has pale pink flowers out-of-doors in full sun, but it wouldn't surprise me if the colours were paler in a greenhouse.
