| Echeveria zahnii cv hoveyii. I've seen it listed as E. hoveyii variegata. |

| Cool! Thanks, bikerdoc! And a plant of mysterious origins since first being described in 1910... |
Here is a link that might be useful: E. 'Hoveyi' and E. 'Zahnii' a problem in nomenclature

| I believe it is E. 'Decora' (believed to be a spontaneous mutation of E. gibbiflora 'Metallica'). Both 'Hoveyi' & 'Zahnii' have skinnier (longer-looking, but shorter) leaves. |

| Thanks Rose Marie! Could be--E. 'Hoveyi' was described as a tight rosette, this one is rather elongated. |

| Hoovb, very nice. I love the coloring. You certainly have your share of beauties! Mike:-) |

| Which would make it E. hoovbii (nomen nudum), right? |

| thanks Rosemarie for correcting me. I had an E. hoveyi or at least that is what John Trager called it. It was slow growing and began to revert back to the E. gibbiflora 'Metallica'. Now I have lots of the later and only a small one of the E. 'Decora' |
