Echeveria difractens
This is one of my many Echeveria. Most flower very reliably every year. This is one of the more prolific in the flower department, but is a slow grower taking a few years to product large rosettes, but will flower on very small rosettes! I should have several of these come this next summer. So who wants one?????

No you won't, Gin. They are almost indestructible! Just don't over water it and and if your winters are below 45F you'll have to bring it indoors. I put these out in bright full sun all summer long and if there is enough rain, I let Mother Nature take care of them. I've got one with your name on it!

One of the most beautiful of the succulent plants I have seen. Like cactus I know they conserve energy and are slow growers. True desert colors also. AL

Gin and Bob just remind me later this year and send an address. Gin no need to send anything in return; this is my pleasure.

That's a lot of flowers for the size of the plant. I would have loved to have one, but that's impossible. So I'll just write down the name and try to find one at the rare plant fair in Lyon in march.
