| Well, not one I've seen before! It's a very nice looking plant! Red blooms in the mix...fun stuff! It looks to me like a hybrid with Echeveria purpusorum as a parent. Then I think you'd need a red-blooming parent. The ones I can think of don't seem likely ('Black Knight', 'Black Prince', coccinea, some gibbiflora hybrids). I thought my Echeveria moranii had red blooms, but haven't been able to find online example. It'll be interesting to see what others think. =) |

| Julie, that is beautiful. And while I would never want to get RoRo's nose out of joint... maybe a bit of fun here...... For reference, these are pictures of what I have labeled as Echeveria purpusorum, E. purpsorum cv,, E. pulvidonis The last picture looks like the species while the one above has much thicker succulent So I wonder if yours isn't a hybrid of Echeveria pulvidonis rather than E. purpusorum. Again, whatever it turns out to be, it is a very nice Echeveria and with red flowers....WOW So, Julie when do you send me a small pup...When.... spring is coming and I'm almost another year older!!!!!!

| Oh Howard, you could never get my nose out of joint! Ha ha! Well, maybe if you smacked me w/a bat! Good thing you live far from me!! Your 1st plant looks within the range for E. purpusorum. Neat-O that your E. pulidonis has the "raindrops" develop on it!! I selected E. purpusorum as one parent because of the look of xGraptoveria 'Amethorum', which has E. purpusorum & Graptopetalum amethystinum as parents, retaining the ridge on the back (underside) of the leaf from E. purpusorum. Julie's plant is retaining the pointed tips as well. I believe the other parent would have to be a light-colored one & have the red flowers. If her plant had a definite red edge, I might lean toward the E. pulidonis as a parent. Still, need to find some red-flowered guys. |

| Morning, I posted this to another forum and a person suggested X Pachyveria--what do you think of this possibility? Thanks! seedmoney |

| Sorry, your plant pix do not say "pachy-" anything to me. Do you happen to have any pix of the blooms open? You mentioned the flowers were campanulate, Any detailed pix of blooms? |

| After I said it, I looked back & could not find Julie mentioning that in this post. Started to question my sanity, Howard! Ha ha! Have no idea if I got it mixed up from another post. Anyway, removed that reference (for anyone wondering what the heck we are talking about)! A side note, Howard, hope you received my email about places to see during daughter's spring break! Whew! I figured it out...she has "campanulate" in one of captions under her pix! Think I will change it back! =) |
