I just love this echeveria! The whole shape is reminiscent of a flower. And the so entertaining bumps adds to the fun of it.

I have killed so many of these. Kin. I do not know why. They die a terrible death too, becoming so ugly. But I keep buying them at HD when I see them in 8 inch pots for $15.99 and so perfect and so big. I should be arrested.

Hmmmm
Home of Kell, The Echeveria killer! LOL
I have seen them in the nurseries and always wanted to get one but felt I
would most likely do the same as you. I do think I will give one a try this year thought.
If it ever warms up here...LOL
