Can't think of what it is now. The arrangement and the plants are beautiful. The plants look like they just love what you have done for them. Unfortunately, as much as I love these plants I have very little luck with them outdoors. They do well for most of the winter as they are sheltered in that part of the garden which is under the porch roof. Yes, my porch roof really does extend out over part of the garden. Then we get those bitter Arctic winds which come whistling down the Fraser River Valley and the poor things are history. Although you aren't all that far south of me, I imagine these winds have warmed somewhat before they reach you. I wish you continued success with your Echeverias and the other succulents.

Blooms in late spring into early fall. Blooms are pinkish yellow with red lip on end of flower on bloom stalk. Bloom stalk can get up to 12 inches tall covered with "lantern" looking blooms.
Propagate by removing offsets, and allow to callus before planting.
