This plant and all the others pictured under the entry for E. tolimanensis are not actually tolimanensis but the very similar looking xSedeveria 'Blue Mist' (=Sedum craigii x Echeveria affinis). The clearest differences are evident in the flowers, which (among other differences) have the sepals pressed up against the corolla, not pointing sideways away from it. See this informative page about the hybrid:

https://www.crassulaceae.ch/de...

Most of the internet appears to confuse these two plants, and 'Blue Mist' seems to be almost always available on the market under the name tolimanensis. I only came to understand the difference once my own plant (which came to me as tolimanensis) flowered. Here it is (identical to all plants currently pictured as tolimanensis at the moment).




So this is just a heads up that I will be moving all the images currently under tolimanensis to the other entry. I invite your opinions and feedback, as usual, of course.

Thank You!
