Default Echeveria

This is a beautiful example of a typical Echeveria rosette. I have been waiting 3 years for this to flower. They both were grown from individual leaves; the smaller developed 2 heads (I have 2 others just like this one) and because I have kept it in a smaller pot the overall size has remained small.

Really cool. I think I may have to ask my Mum for a division of one of these. Her's seem to grow like crazy and she has to divide them quite often.

I have recently acquired some really tiny Echevarias from a friend who grew them from seed and they are really pretty. I've taken pictures, but they aren't as good as yours, Howard. However, I will share as its interesting to see the different colours etc.

They are E. amoena,(peach) E. pulidorus(yellow) and E x derosa(rich orange) which is a hybrid of derbergii and setosa

Enjoy!

Heather

Your plants are very nice... love them all. Here are a couple of my E. pulidonis. As you can see they flower freely, through pups like crazy and given lots of sun will have nice purple tips on the leaves.

Yes, I think I got the name wrong in my post, it is probably pulidonis not pulidorus, and i'm not sure I haven't shuffled the other two relative to the plants - I stupidly took all the labels out at once when I went to put them on my spread sheet.......... more internet research!
