A graptopetalum I personally find among the most beautiful, with its chic bronze body and striking, oversized shocking pink flowers that really catch the eye. In fact, some references even classify it under the separate genus "Tacitus T. bellus ," as it stands out with a character that's quite different from typical graptopetalums.
It's said to prefer more water than many other succulents, but be very careful not to overwater. While it often produces lots of offshoots, these cluster tightly without stretching the stem, so watch out for stuffiness and poor air circulation. To get it to bloom properly in winter, it needs to be exposed to the cold.
In the Tacitus genus, the scientific name is slightly different: "bellus" is masculine and "bellum" is neuter ((feminine: bella)), all meaning something like "Beautiful!" The rule is to match the gender of the species name to that of the genus.
