    Pale green Echeveria hybrid which closely resembles one of the presumed parents, E. agavoides, but with thinner leaves that are concave on top, and a more open rosette. Flowers are decidedly unlike agavoides, sort of peachy orange with yellow highlights and interior.

    This hybrid is (apparently illegitimately) called 'Martin's Hybrid' (shortened to 'Martin' by way of correction) and usually misidentified as the species agavoides in the trade. A bit finicky in my experience compared to agavoides. Prone to root loss and sudden meltdown in our mild, humid, winter-rainfall climate. Much better looking in strong light.
